Robotic Assisted Knee Replacement in Navi Mumbai

In knee replacement surgery, the damaged knee part is removed and replaced with artificial joints. Nowadays, orthopaedic surgeons use computed tomography scans in a robotic total knee replacement to construct a virtual model that helps them to plan the robotic knee surgery. Robotic joint specialist use this model as a guide and use robotic arm to place new knee components. Dr. Pramod Bhor provides diagnosis and minimally knee replacement surgery using robotic-arm technology in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra. Dr. Pramod Bhor also provides specialized care to his patients during and after robotic assisted knee replacement surgery in Navi Mumbai. Contact Dr. Pramod Bhor today for an appointment!

What is Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement?

Robotic-assisted knee replacement is a surgical process that uses robotic arm technology to help surgeons perform knee replacement surgeries with high precision and accuracy. Surgeons make smaller incisions compared to conventional knee replacement.

What Happens During Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement Surgery?

In robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery, your knee replacement doctor uses a robotic arm to guide the surgical process instead of handheld instruments. The robotic arm is well-programmed and offers a step-by-step plan of the robotic knee replacement surgery based on the patient’s anatomy.

During this process, robotic joint replacement surgeon uses the robotic-arm to make precise cuts in the bone. After this, they place the implants in the correct place. The robotic arm technology gives feedback to the orthopedic surgeon throughout the surgery. This ensures that the surgical process is performed safely.

Who is the Right Candidate for Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery?

Robotic knee replacement surgery is among the safest and most effective solution for an individual for a total knee replacement. If you have  joint or knee issue then you are the right fit for robotic knee replacement surgery.

Robotic knee replacement surgery is a suitable choice for complex joint or knee issues. Individuals who can be the right candidate for robotic knee replacement surgery are:

Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement Surgery Procedure

The main objective of knee replacement surgery is to get rid of pain and restore the knee functioning. Robotic knee replacement uses CT scans and X-rays to identify the damaged sections of your knee joint that need to be removed for precise knee implant placement.

After this, the damaged portion of the femur bone is cut at appropriate angles using jigs. Your orthopedic surgeon attaches the femoral part with or without bone cement at the femur end.

A knee replacement specialist cuts the damaged cartilage and tibia portion. Then, remove the deformed bone portion and bony growths if they are present and create a smooth surface where the implants are attached. The tibial part attachment is done at the end of the bone with screws.

The next stage in the robotic knee surgery is placement of plastic piece between the implants to offer a smooth gliding surface for mobility. This piece inserted supports the weight of the body and helps femur to move over the tibia. With new components, tibia and femur form a new knee joint.

A rear surface is prepared to ensure that patella glides smoothly over the artificial knee. This knee replacement surgery is performed using robotic arm technology. The knee joint test is performed further through its motion range. The joint gets irrigated and cleaned using sterile solution. The incision is properly closed and drains are inserted and sterile dressing is done to avoid the infection.

Signs You Need a Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery

Here are a few signs that you need a robotic assisted knee replacement surgery in Navi Mumbai:

• If you are having stiffness in the knee
