Robotic Assisted Knee Surgery in Hyderabad

Robotic Assisted Knee Surgery in Hyderabad

Robotic Assisted Knee Surgeon is a budding surgical technique that is drawing an attention from surgeons and patients across the world in the recent times. It is an innovative technique alternative to the conventional surgical procedure in patients suffering from degenerative knee diseases such as osteoarthritis. It is performed using robotic-arm technology that allows the surgeon to precisely perform the surgery through a smaller incision as compared to traditional surgery.

How is the surgery done?

This procedure is performed with the assistance of a robotic arm, and CT scan images are used instead of X-rays. The reason paramount to CT imaging technology which allows the surgeon to construct a three-dimensional model of the joint. The surgeon then uploads the images to the robotic software system to establish a plan for the surgery.

During the procedure, it’s not the robotic arm that performs the surgery, as many think but the surgeon. He controls the robotic arm using the 3D model for guidance and positions the implant in the precise location necessary to ensure the correct leg alignment and soft tissue balance.


Benefits of Robot-Assisted Knee Replacement:

In a recent medical research, it clearly indicated that robot-assisted joint knee replacement,  arthroplasty to be precise, was more effective when surgeons use robotic arm technology. This technology which not only assists the surgeon in removing the diseased bone with great accuracy but also allows the surgeon to preserve undamaged portions of the joint. This approach to arthroplasty also provides a number of other advantages for the patient.
  • Smaller incisions
  • Small scar
  • Accurate positioning and aligning of the implant prosthesis
  • Less blood loss
  • Rapid recovery
  • Less risk of complications
  • Reduced injury to adjacent tissues
  • Increased longevity of the implant
Robotic surgeries today are well accepted all over for their superior results especially in oncology(cancer), neurology and gastric surgery departments.

It is almost spherical in shape and surrounded by articular cartilage all around. The femoral head size may range from 40 to 60 mm in diameter and varies with body mass. The thickness of the articular cartilage is about 4 mm superiorly and tapers to 3 mm at the periphery. Acetabulum:   Acetabulum is a socket (concave depression) on the lower side of the pelvis where the femoral head fits into the acetabulum to form the hip joint.
