Robotic Knee Replacement – What Is It?

Robotic knee replacement is an advanced surgical technique where your orthopedic surgeon uses a computer-assisted robotic system to perform knee replacement with greater precision. Unlike traditional methods that rely only on manual alignment, robotic systems provide a 3D virtual model of your knee, allowing the surgeon to plan the procedure in detail and execute it with extreme accuracy.

How It Works
  • A 3D scan or digital model of your knee joint is created before or during surgery.
  • The robotic system helps your surgeon determine the exact size, placement, and alignment of the implant.
  • During surgery, the robot acts as a guiding tool — it does not replace the surgeon but assists in making highly precise bone cuts and positioning the implant.
AREA OF EXPERTISE
  • Robotic and non-robotic knee replacement surgery
  • Fracture surgery of upper and lower extremities
  • Geriatric hip fracture surgery
  • Knee arthritis treatment

Benefits of Robotic Knee Replacement

  • Higher accuracy in implant placement and alignment
  • Personalized surgery tailored to each patient’s knee anatomy
  • Less bone and soft tissue damage compared to conventional methods
  • Reduced blood loss and faster recovery
  • Better long-term outcomes with improved implant longevity
  • Smaller incision and minimal scarring in many cases

Types of Cases

Robotic technology can be used in :

  • Primary knee replacement (first-time surgery)
  • Partial knee replacement (only one compartment of the knee is damaged)
  • Revision knee replacement (replacement of a failed implant)

Where It Is Done

Robotic knee replacement requires a specialized laminar air-flow operation theatre and advanced robotic systems, which are usually available in select multi-specialty or high-end orthopedic hospitals. Costs may be higher than conventional surgery, but the accuracy and long-term benefits often justify the investment.

Conclusion

Robotic knee replacement combines the expertise of your surgeon with the precision of robotic assistance. It helps achieve more natural knee movement, longer-lasting implants, and faster recovery.
