HOW IS ROBOTIC KNEE REPLACEMENT BETTER THAN
NORMAL KNEE REPLACEMENT?
Knee pain is a common problem that affects people
at any age. The causes for this problem are
multiple like excess weight, lack of muscle
flexibility or strength, certain sports or
occupational injuries, etc. Not all knee pain is
serious but some are caused due to serious
diseases such as osteoarthritis , can lead to
increase disability and joint damage if left
untreated. When such problems don't respond to
medication and treatment then knee
replacement surgery is one of the last options.
Traditionally knee replacement surgeries are done
by expert surgeons in which surgeons make 8 to 12
inches cut along the front and towards the middle
or along the front and to the side of the knee.
This approach typically requires a long recovery
period in the hospital and a long recovery time
for the patient to resume his work.

In the modern world, a new technique has came
into action to do the same work with more
accuracy and with the least side effects with the
help of robotic machines, this technique is known
as the robotic knee replacement technique. One of
the misconceptions about robotic knee replacement
is that people thought that it is done by robots
which are not true at all. In this process, and
assisted robotic arms to help surgeons in
performing the surgery. In this technique before
surgery, the doctor takes the CT scans of the
knee of the patient which creates a 3D model of
the patient's knee. During the operation, the
robotic arm takes the data of 3D images created
by the CT scan which helps to create a predefined
space for the surgeon to work in, which prevents
the accidental damage of surrounding tissue.
Traditionally the accuracy and success rate of
this surgery only depends on the surgeon's
experience and expertise. With the help of
robotic-assisted technology the accuracy and the
success of the operation increase many times.
Traditionally patient won't be able to resume its
normal activity until five to seven weeks but
with this technique, the recovery time gets
reduced to half, and also with greater surgical
Precision there is less bone and tissue damage
which increase the natural healing process of the
body and also the recovery time.

Advantages of robotic knee surgery-
The robotic knee surgery first turned out to be a
powerful tool for doctors, some of the advantages
of robotic knee surgery are-
Better patient outcome - As the accuracy of the
robotic knee surgery is more precised, patient
outcome increases, the patient after the robotic
transplant requires less rehabilitation then to
the normal knee replacement surgery.
5
Less complicated - The robotic knee replacement
surgery does have very few complications, this
also increases the recovery time and is a less
complicated procedure then to the normal knee
replacement surgery.
High patient satisfaction - this procedure
produces early recovery the patient can simply
return to their normal daily life style which
provides more patient satisfaction, this is done
by highly precise robotics there are very few
chances of mistakes which increases the comfort
of the patient.

Conclusion- At last, the question arises that is
the robotic knee replacement surgery is better
than traditional surgery or not so according to
experts and their observations on the patients
who have gone through this surgery is that, yes
this new technique is better than the previous.
Studies have shown that robotic-assisted
surgeries are more accurate with less trauma on
the surrounding bone and tissue and reduced the
traumatic area. The most important benefit of
this surgery is that only a small incision about
4 to 6 inches in length are applied on the knee
rather than of 10 to 12 inches which were applied
traditionally in the surgical practice. This
innovative approach offers the surgeon great
surgical precision, faster recovery, less pain,
and also shorter Hospital stay. In many cases,
the patient gets fully recovered in less than 6
weeks.
