Robotic TKR

Robotic Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is a cutting-edge surgical procedure that combines the expertise of orthopaedic surgeons with robotic technology to enhance the precision and outcomes of knee replacement surgeries. This innovative approach has revolutionised the field of orthopaedics, providing numerous benefits for patients seeking relief from debilitating knee pain and reduced mobility.

 

Procedure Overview:

 

1. Preoperative Planning: The process begins with detailed preoperative planning. Using advanced imaging techniques like CT scans or MRIs, we create a 3D model of the patient's knee. This model serves as a virtual map for the surgical procedure.

 

2. Surgical Navigation: On the day of surgery, we use our ROSA robotic knee replacement robot to enhance the precision of the procedure. The robot doesn't perform the surgery; rather, it acts as a highly sophisticated assistant to the surgeon. It also helps navigate the difficult areas.

 

3. Real-time Feedback: The robotic system provides real-time feedback throughout the procedure. It allows us to make precise adjustments, ensuring optimal implant placement and alignment.

Key Advantages

Enhanced Precision

Robotic TKR offers unparalleled precision in the placement of the knee implant. This precision helps to optimise joint function, reduce wear and tear on the implant, and extend its longevity.

Customisation

The 3D modelling and robotic system allow for a high degree of customization. We can tailor the procedure to the patient's unique anatomy, resulting in a more natural feel and improved postoperative outcomes.

Minimised Tissue Trauma

Robotic-assisted surgery often requires smaller incisions, which can result in less tissue trauma, reduced pain, and a quicker recovery compared to traditional knee replacement surgery.

Faster Recovery

Patients typically experience a faster recovery and rehabilitation process, leading to an earlier return to their daily activities and improved quality of life.

 Reduced Complications

The precise nature of robotic TKR can reduce the risk of complications such as implant misalignment or instability, which are concerns in traditional knee replacements.

Long-Term Benefits

Patients can expect their knee implants to last longer due to the improved alignment and reduced wear and tear associated with robotic TKR.

Patient Selection

Not all patients are candidates for robotic TKR.

 

We evaluate each case individually to determine the most appropriate approach. Factors such as the patient's age, overall health, and the extent of knee damage are taken into consideration.
