Robotic-Assisted Total Knee Replacement

Robotic-assisted Total Knee Replacement

     Robotic-assisted total knee replacement is a surgical technique that uses computer software and robotic systems to assist the surgeon in positioning the knee implant. The goal is to increase precision and accuracy, reduce surgical errors, and enhance patient satisfaction.

Who is Suitable for Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement?

     This procedure is suitable for patients who desire precise and accurate surgical outcomes, resulting in a quicker recovery, reduced injury, improved mobility, and long-lasting knee function. How to Prepare for Robotic-Assisted Knee Surgery? Preparation for robotic-assisted knee surgery is generally like that for traditional surgery.

Steps In Robotic-Assisted Surgery

The robot creates a 3D image of the knee from data provided by the surgeon, who marks the bone points of the knee in the operating room.

• The surgeon plans the surgery in conjunction with AI, setting the position of the knee implant and balancing the knee tissues according to the patient's specific needs, with results displayed in numbers and graphs.
• The surgeon performs the surgery according to the planned approach, with the robot providing real-time surgical data to ensure precision.
• After the surgery, the robot displays the alignment and balance of the knee implant. If the results are unsatisfactory, adjustments can be made until the desired outcome is achieved. Once satisfactory results are obtained, the surgeon will close the incision, completing the procedure.

3D Imaging Technology

     The robotic 3D imaging technology creates a 3D image of the knee, allowing the surgeon to use equipment in the operating room to mark specific points on the knee bone for surgical planning.

Post-operative care is the same as traditional surgery.

Traditional Knee Replacement Vs. Robotic-Assisted Surgery

     Traditional knee replacement surgery relies heavily on the surgeon's experience for intraoperative assessment, with an average satisfaction rate of 80%. In response, robotic-assisted surgery was developed to allow for more detailed, patient-specific planning. The robot evaluates the surgery in real time, providing numerical results for accuracy during the procedure and final assessment post-surgery, ensuring everything is complete before closing the incision. This approach enhances patient satisfaction, approaching 100%.

Risk of Implant Dislocation

     The chance of a knee implant dislocation is very low. Dislocation can occur due to improper knee balance or excessive looseness. Robotic-assisted surgery allows for pre-surgical planning of knee balance adjustments and provides results post-surgery, ensuring effective balance control and minimizing dislocation risk.

Advantages of Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement

Faster recovery, fewer injuries, with the ability to walk within 24 hours post-surgery.

• High accuracy, reducing surgical error risks.
• 24% less blood loss compared to traditional surgery.
• Personalized surgical planning, resulting in more natural walking.
• Longer-lasting knee implants.
