Robotic-assisted knee replacement represents a revolutionary advancement in orthopedic surgery. Learn how this technology delivers better outcomes.
What is Robotic Knee Replacement?
Robotic-assisted Total Knee Replacement (TKR) uses a robotic arm guided by a real-time CT-based plan to place the implant with sub-millimetre precision. This results in better alignment, less soft tissue damage, and a more natural-feeling knee compared to conventional surgery.
Benefits of Robotic Surgery
- Precision: Sub-millimeter accuracy in implant positioning
- Faster Recovery: Less tissue damage means quicker healing
- Better Outcomes: More natural knee function post-surgery
- Reduced Pain: Less trauma to surrounding tissues
Who is a Candidate?
Patients with severe arthritis, bone-on-bone contact, or those who haven't responded to conservative treatments may benefit from robotic knee replacement. Dr. Majmundar evaluates each patient individually to determine the best approach.
Recovery Timeline
Most patients can walk with support within 24 hours of surgery. Light daily activities resume in 4-6 weeks, and full recovery is typically achieved by 6-12 months.
