Robot Assisted Knee Joint Replacement Surgery
The procedure for a Total knee Replacement (TKR) has advanced greatly with the development of new materials and the increasing understanding of the knee joint biomechanics. An accurate alignment of the component and soft tissue balancing has been cited as the essential for the success of Total knee Joint Replacement (TKR). Although mechanical alignment guides have been designed to improve alignment accuracy, there are several fundamental limitations of this technology that will inhibit additional improvements.
There are limits on improving the alignment accuracy using a conventional total knee replacement. Computer-assisted surgery (CAS) was introduced to overcome the difficulties and errors. Computer-assisted total knee Replacement has gained increasing acceptance among orthopedic surgeons as a technique to improve surgical precision and patient outcomes.
The Joint Replacement surgical robotic system is the most advanced surgical equipment capable of 3D pre-planning, virtual surgery and precise cutting to provide accurate and precise surgery results.
With the advent of Robotic technology in TKR surgeries the limitations have been drastically mitigated with 3D CT pre-planning, Accuracy and predictability in surgical outcome.
What is Robotic Knee Joint Replacement Surgery?
In knee replacement surgery, the arthritic portion of the knee is removed and replaced by an artificial joint that form the new surfaces of the knee joint. During Robot assisted total knee replacement, Robotic Knee Replacement Surgeon uses computed tomography (CT) scans to build a 3D model of the patient’s knee. With that virtual model as guide, the surgeon then uses the robotic arm to make accurate bone cuts and insert the knee components precisely.
Type Of Robotic Technology
Well when we speak about Robotics it is indeed has to be smart and must be easily maneuvered. Knee Replacement being the prominent amongst all other joint replacement surgeries had the privilege of getting more attention from researchers and technologists. If we are to differentiate currently available knee replacement robotic systems, they are briefly classified as passive, semi-active and active systems. The major factor which has led to this differentiation is the nature of work robotic system does with least human interference. Passive & Semi Active type system guide the surgeon through the fixation and cutting block resection stages – the actual cutting and drilling processes are executed by the surgeon. Active robotic joint replacement systems which are said to be the most advanced amongst its peers are completely autonomous in nature with least human interference required.
Why Robotic Artificial Joint Surgery is good?
Personalized pre-planning: As each person has a different face, the shape of bone is also different. Artificial joint surgical robot shows the patient’s joint bone in 3D images, and the doctor can use those images for pre-planning of surgery personalized for the patient.
Pre-selection artificial joint and precise insertion of artificial joint: What’s as important as the precise surgical plan is to select and insert the personalized artificial joint. The doctor uses robot to select an artificial joint for the patient and insert it accurately.
Precise cutting for sub-millimeter accuracy and optimum alignment: Robot reviews the data and cuts the bone precisely with respect to the dimensions of the implant decided during pre-surgery planning stage. Precise cutting serves the optimum result also provides the correct alignment of a patient’s leg axis with the sub-millimeter dimensional accuracy and precise cutting for the optimal surgical outcome.
Reduction of side effect and re-operation: The Surgical Robot reduces side effects like inequality of limb length, pulmonary embolism, and fracture. The risk of infection is also reduced because of fewer instruments in use than in conventional surgery.
How Robotic Knee Joint Replacement Surgery benefits me?
The advantages of the Robotic knee Replacement were mainly attributed to its comprehensive pre-operative plan, intra-operative monitoring, patient specific and appropriate intervention by Robotic Knee Replacement Surgeons.
The precision of Robotic Assisted Knee Joint Replacement surgery allows for:
- More accurate implant placement, results in a more natural feeling after surgery
- Reduced risk of injury to adjacent tissues results in improved safety and reduced risk of infection
- Lower blood loss and smaller incisions, help in quicker recovery and less pain.
- Early Rehabilitation, decreased admission time and early discharge from Hospital
- The potential for better long-term function
- Better implant survivorship and longevity
- Improved Quality of life

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. It has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s.
Where does Lorem Ipsum come from?
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old.
Why do we use Lorem Ipsum?
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters.
How can I get Lorem Ipsum text?
There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don’t look even slightly believable. You can generate Lorem Ipsum text from various online tools or websites.
