Robotic Knee Replacement
Robotic Knee Replacement is similar to a traditional knee replacement. Your surgeon removes damaged tissue in your knee and replaces it with an artificial joint. The difference is that this procedure is performed with assistance from a robotic arm, which allows for greater precision.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Robotic surgery often involves smaller incisions compared to traditional techniques. This translates to less tissue damage, potentially leading to:
Less pain
Faster healing
Shorter hospital stay
Improved Balance and Stability
Precise implant placement allows for better alignment of the knee joint, which can contribute to improved balance and stability after surgery.
Benefits of Robotic Knee Replacement
Several potential benefits make robotic knee replacement an attractive option for individuals seeking knee pain relief:
Faster Recovery: Minimally invasive surgery often leads to a quicker recovery process compared to traditional methods. Patients may experience less pain and regain mobility sooner.
Reduced Blood Loss: Smaller incisions can lead to less blood loss during surgery.
Shorter Hospital Stay: Faster recovery allows for a potentially shorter hospital stay, minimizing disruption to your daily routine.
Improved Long-Term Function: Precise implant placement may lead to improved joint function and a better range of motion in the long run.

Who is a Candidate for Robotic Knee Replacement?
It’s crucial to consult with an orthopedic surgeon to determine if you are a good candidate. Here are some factors they will consider:
Severity of knee pain and its impact on daily life
Level of joint damage (arthritis, wear and tear)
Overall health and medical history
How to Proceed for Robotic Knee Replacement?
The process for robotic knee replacement generally involves these steps:
Pre-Surgical Consultation: Discuss your medical history, symptoms, and expectations with the surgeon.
Imaging Tests: X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs to assess the condition of your knee.
Surgical Planning: The surgeon creates a 3D map to plan the surgery and program the robotic arm.
The Surgery: The procedure involves smaller incisions and robotic-assisted precise implant placement.
Recovery: Post-surgery, physical therapy helps regain strength and mobility in your knee.

Knee Replacement Surgery Recovery: What to Expect?
Initial Recovery (Hospital Stay)
You’ll spend a few days in the hospital.
Pain management will be a priority.
Physical therapy may begin early to help you start moving your knee.
First Weeks at Home
Assistance with daily tasks may be needed.
Physical therapy sessions will continue, focusing on regaining strength and mobility.
Pain and swelling are common but should gradually improve.
Longer-Term Recovery (Months 1-3)
Physical therapy becomes more intensive.
Focus on improving flexibility and endurance.
Walking without assistance and performing daily activities independently are key goals.
Beyond 3 Months
Gradual improvement in strength and mobility continues.
Some activities may still be limited or require caution.
Full recovery and maximum benefits may take up to a year.
Potential Challenges
Risks such as infection, blood clots, or stiffness can occur but are managed with medications and therapy.
Patience is crucial, as progress can be slow and steady.
Follow Your Doctor’s Guidance
Always follow your surgeon’s instructions and attend all recommended follow-up appointments. Your doctor will guide you through each stage of recovery and help manage any complications that may arise.
