MAKO Robotic Cruciate Retaining (CR) & Posterior Stabilised (PS) Knee Replacement
Advanced Robotic Knee Replacement with the Triathlon Knee System
Not every arthritic knee is the same. Successful knee replacement surgery requires careful evaluation of the patient’s anatomy, ligament function, deformity, and expectations. Dr. Deepak N. Inamdar offers MAKO Robotic Cruciate Retaining (CR) and Posterior Stabilised (PS) Knee Replacement using the Triathlon Knee System, providing a personalized approach for every patient seeking Mako robotic knee replacement, robotic knee replacement surgery, or joint replacement in Bangalore.
The MAKO robotic platform creates a three-dimensional CT-based model of the knee joint before surgery, allowing precise planning of implant size, position, alignment, and soft-tissue balance. During robotic knee replacement surgery, robotic assistance helps execute the plan with exceptional accuracy while preserving healthy bone and surrounding soft tissues. Patients looking for knee replacement surgery in Jayanagar can benefit from this advanced technology for improved precision and recovery.
Cruciate Retaining (CR) Robotic Knee Replacement
In selected patients, the Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) remains healthy and functional. In these cases, a MAKO Robotic Cruciate Retaining (CR) Triathlon Knee is used to preserve the natural ligament while restoring function to the damaged knee joint.
Benefits of a CR Knee
- Preserves the patient’s PCL
- More natural knee kinematics
- Better proprioception (joint awareness)
- Less bone removal
- Excellent long-term results in appropriately selected patients
CR knee replacement surgery is ideal only when the ligament is healthy and the knee can be balanced satisfactorily, helping patients achieve a more natural-feeling knee after surgery.
Posterior Stabilized (PS) Robotic Knee Replacement
Some patients have severe arthritis, deformity, stretched or damaged ligaments, previous injuries, or an incompetent PCL. In these situations, a Posterior Stabilised (PS) Knee Replacement with the Triathlon Knee System provides greater stability during full knee replacement or complete knee replacement procedures.
The PS design incorporates a cam-and-post mechanism that substitutes for the function of the PCL, allowing smooth knee movement and excellent stability throughout the range of motion after total knee replacement operation.
Advantages of a PS Knee
- Reliable stability
- Predictable soft-tissue balancing
- Excellent function in complex arthritic knees
- Well suited for severe deformities and ligament insufficiency
The Importance of Intraoperative Decision-Making
Although surgery is carefully planned before entering the operating room, the final decision between a CR and PS implant is sometimes made during robotic knee replacement surgery.
After robotic bone preparation and soft-tissue assessment, if the PCL is found to be insufficient, excessively tight, stretched, or unable to provide a stable, balanced knee, Dr. Deepak N. Inamdar may convert from a planned CR implant to a PS implant.
This decision is based entirely on achieving the best long-term function and stability for the patient not on rigidly following the preoperative plan. This personalized approach helps deliver the most suitable knee replacement surgery for every individual.
Why MAKO Robotic Technology Makes a Difference
The MAKO robotic system enables:
- CT-based personalized preoperative planning
- Highly accurate implant positioning
- Precise bone preparation
- Improved ligament balancing
- Bone preservation
- Reproducible surgical accuracy
- Individualized alignment strategies
- Consistent clinical outcomes
These advantages make Mako robotic knee replacement an advanced option for patients requiring whole knee replacement ensuring greater precision and confidence throughout the procedure.
Why the Triathlon Knee System?
The Triathlon Knee System has been used successfully worldwide and is designed to:
- Restore smooth knee movement
- Improve stability
- Provide excellent durability
- Support early rehabilitation
- Deliver proven long-term clinical outcomes
Combined with MAKO robotic technology, the Triathlon Knee System offers one of the most advanced solutions for total knee replacement operation, helping patients regain comfort, mobility, and confidence. It is also recognized as one of the best knee replacement implant systems for suitable candidates undergoing joint replacement in Bangalore.
Dr. Deepak N. Inamdar’s Philosophy
Every robotic knee replacement surgery is individualized. Some patients benefit from preserving their natural ligament with a MAKO Robotic Cruciate Retaining (CR) design, while others achieve better stability and function with a Posterior Stabilised (PS) Knee Replacement implant.
The expertise lies not only in performing Mako robotic knee replacement but also in selecting the right implant, balancing the knee joint precisely, and making sound intraoperative decisions that optimize long-term outcomes.
Using MAKO Robotic Technology together with the Triathlon Knee System, Dr. Deepak N. Inamdar aims to provide every patient with a stable, well-balanced, accurately aligned knee that supports a return to an active, pain-free lifestyle.
