Robotic vs. Traditional Knee Replacement Surgery

Image
Traditional Knee Replacement Surgery also called knee arthroplasty or total knee replacement surgery is an invasive method to resurface arthritis damaged knee or severe knee injury. Implants of metal or plastic are used to cap the bones that form the knee joint. Various types of arthritis like osteoarthritis (a degenerative joint disease affecting middle-aged people causing breaking down of joint cartilages and bones), rheumatoid arthritis (inflammation of synovial membrane resulting in an excessive flow of synovial fluid which eventually causes pain and stiffness in the knee) and Traumatic arthritis (due to accident or hard contact) are prevalent in the knee that may cause abnormal functioning, restricted functioning, locking of knee, pain and discomfort.  The knee replacement surgery aims to relieve knee pain that could not be controlled by other treatments like medicine, physiotherapy, rest or braces.  Talking about Robotic Surgery the first and the foremost thing to be said about

Benefits of robotic knee replacement

Knee replacement surgeries, methodology, techniques and technology have developed by leaps and bound in the last few decades. Total knee surgery has gone through so many transformations and has positively benefited the patients. The cost factor, the technology, quality of implants, minimally invasive techniques and reduced rehabilitation periods have all given the patients who were afraid of knee replacement going wrong. The pain, the rehabilitation time and the uncertainty attached to the total knee replacement were all detrimental to the thinking of persons troubled by knee pain. The latest in knee surgery has been Robotics Assisted surgery which helps in precisely shaping the surrounding bone before placing the knee implants and navigating precisely to the remotest area of the knee. A 3D model of the patient's knee can be generated to help in mapping the exact incisions and angles. Let us look into some major advantages a robotic surgery would have in comparison to a convention

Making Knee Replacement a Life-Changing Experience.

Knee replacement surgery a procedure that is done when all other procedures have failed to relieve you of the pain or the only option left is knee replacement in case of accidents and other such injury types where the knee is left immovable. Knee replacement surgeries and as a matter of fact, joint replacement surgeries as a whole have seen a lot of development in terms of surgical techniques and quality of prosthetics too. Total Knee replacement surgery could be done in a day with the latest technology and techniques of Knee surgery, wherein the patient can get the surgery done and be back home in less than 24 hours. More of the surgery has also become so very minimally invasive that the rehabilitation time has also come down drastically. This has made knee replacement a very vastly recommended and highly successful surgery for knee problems in comparison to other conventional and surgical techniques.  The reduced rehabilitation time has made the life of the patients who have undergon
