Everything About Robotic Knee Replacement
A robotic knee replacement is similar to a standard knee replacement in that it replaces the knee joint. Damaged tissue in your knee is removed and replaced with an artificial joint by your surgeon. The only difference is that it’s made with the help of a robotic arm.

What is Robotic Knee Replacement
Robotic knee replacement is a technology that uses 3-Dmapping of a knee to assess. Knee stability alignment and knee range of movement in the operation theatre enabling adjustments of bone resection and positioning of the prosthesis. It reduces the soft tissue dissector and muscle injury which helps to reduce post operation pain and improves the achievement of limb mobility quickly

Why Does it Happen?
Knee replacement surgery is most commonly performed to address severe pain caused by osteoarthritis. Walking, climbing stairs, and getting in and out of chairs are all common challenges for those who need knee replacement surgery.

Diagnosis
Laboratory testing and image-guided exams are also part of the total knee replacement pre-operative evaluation.
The following tests are commonly performed on patients:
- EKG (electrocardiography) is a test that is used to screen for cardiac problems.
Urinalysis is used to check for infections, diabetes, and other disorders in the urine.
To diagnose infections and screen for specific illnesses, a CBC blood test is performed.
For information on metabolic health, such as blood glucose levels, electrolytes, and acid/base balance, use the Basic Metabolic Panel (BMP).
Albumin is a protein that is found in the (Blood) Check for malnutrition and liver disease with this test.
Test for inflammation in the body using the Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR).
The Prothrombin Time Test (PT) is used to determine how quickly blood clots.
Patients are also subjected to radiographic exams, such as a chest X-ray, to screen for infection or disease in the lungs. X-rays, MRIs, and other imaging tests of the knee

Risks & Complications
The dangers of robotic knee replacement surgery are the same as those of traditional knee replacement surgery. Among them include, but are not limited to: Damage to the nerves. thrombosis of the deep veins (blood clots)

Insurance coverage
Insurance does cover the cost of the surgical procedure for a hysterectomy performed due to adenomyosis because it is on the list of procedures that are "medically required." The cost capping, however, may change from instance to case. Please get your healthcare or insurance company to validate this.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the age group to undergo robotic assisted surgery ?
The average age in the robotic group was 66 years (46-87 years).
Is the surgery done by the robot ?
Robotic assisted surgery performed by the surgeon. Robot is used to assist the surgeon in preoperative planning and intraoperative execution of replacement of the joint.
Is it a minimally incision sugery ?
It is not a minimal incision surgery but incision is less than conventional surgery.
Is the technology trustworthy ?
Yes. It is FDA approved. It is called MAKO . It is technically superior to other robotic systems which are currently available.
Is it better than traditional surgery ?
Traditional surgeries are bound to get human errors , which is beeing nullified with the use if robotic assisted surgery.
It gives precise alignment of implants for the betterment of patient and longivity of implants
How quickly will i be discharged ?
Robotic assisted surgery is less invasive than conventional surgery therfore pain is less and recovery is faster. Patient will be discharged in a few days depending on the condition/co-morbidities of the patient.
Does this surgery cause lot of pain ?
Pain is less compared to conventional surgery
will there be a scar ?
There will be a scar but scar reduses over a period of time.
When can I walk after the surgery ?
Post operatively patient is made to immediately.
Do I need any assistance post surgery
Assistance may be needed in the beginning after discharge for his day to day activities like going to the bathroom.
Do I need any Physiotheraphy rehabilitation
Yes rehabilitation will start immediately after surgery and that extends till they are completely independent. This take a few days.
Is there any risk in robotic surgery ?
There is no risk in robotis surgery
To which all joints is it done ?
It is done to knee, hip and shoulder
What is the Success rate of the robotic surgery ?
Success rate is 100%
