Robotic vs. Traditional Knee Replacement Surgery

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 it is that the surgery procedure and process for Knee replacement surgery is almost the same as the traditional knee replacement surgery. The second thing to be clarified is that Robotic surgery does not mean that the whole process is done by Robots. These are the two main facts about Robotic surgery that most people misunderstand. In this procedure, the process is aided by a robotic arm and computerized system which is controlled by the surgeon. A computerized imaging system and a robotic arm controlled cohesively by the surgeon are the two major components differentiating this surgery from the traditional knee replacement surgery. Your knee is bound to get the best of the two worlds.

Robotic-assisted procedures have become the trend of today and Dr. Sunil Rajan, the best Joint replacement surgeon in Indore, has always been trendy with his approach to surgery. He is always ahead of time and has brought Robotic surgery into the Knee replacement field for the first time in Central India. He has now elevated the knee replacement process by being trained in robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery and now is the best robotic joint replacement surgeon in Indore. 

This robotic-aided surgery is potentially focused to give benefit to the patient but it gives the surgeon also some very hi-tech advantages like enhanced precision, flexibility, control and vision. 

Patient benefits include:

More precise surgery aiding surgeon to operate near healthy tissues and save damage to unwanted areas. The small size and flexibility of the robotic instruments make this possible.

Pain is lower than the traditional surgical method

Infection and blood loss have also been on a decrease with robotic surgery due to the tiny incisions required by this robotic aided surgery technique. 

Less hospitalization has been recorded for patients having robotic surgery which in turn also helps in lowering theirs overall treatment cost. It has been also possible to send patients back home the very same day too.

The scarring has also considerable reduced due to the minute incisions..

Faster recovery time is another advantage of robotic surgery as smaller incisions need lesser time to heal. Recovery could be as fast as just a few days.

There are clinical benefits that have been recorded in robotic aided surgery and have put robotic surgery at a higher platform than others, today.

Surgeon benefits include:

The enhanced visual field through high definition camera and scans providing magnified 3D detail of the affected area. The microscopic structure can be seen more clearly and can be processed upon with more precision. 

The robotic arm controlled by the surgeon that can move 360 degrees is an added advantage to the reach and dexterity of the surgeon. He can operate at difficult angles and precise locations. Moreover, the arm is pre-programmed with exact areas of operation which restricts it from getting into healthier regions around the affected area giving it perfect precision.

Robotic Joint Replacement surgery is the thing of the new generation with better surgical experience and post-surgery quality of life. 

Dr. Sunil Rajan, the top Orthopaedic surgeon in Indore is now one of the front runners in robotic aided surgery. If you are planning for knee replacement surgery with the best knee replacement surgeon in Indore, contact doctor Sunil Rajan. For more information call us at 9826200015.

Benefits of robotic knee replacement

Image
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

Types of Arthritis Pain in Knee

Image
There are two main types of arthritis in the knee: Osteoarthritis: where there is degeneration of the bones Rheumatoid Arthritis: where there is inflammation in the joint 1. Osteoarthritis Of The Knee This is commonly known as “wear and tear” arthritis. Osteoarthritis is by far the most common cause of arthritis pain in knees affecting approximately 16 million people. Usually osteoarthritis of the knee is related to, but not caused by aging, most commonly affecting people over the age of 65. Other common terms used are "degenerative arthritis knee" or "arthrosis". In a normal, healthy knee joint, there is a reasonable sized gap between the bones (tibia and femur) due to a thick layer of cartilage and lubricating fluid.  The surface of the bones is nice and smooth and as the knee bends and straightens, the joint moves easily and painlessly due to the cushioning from the cartilage.  With osteoarthritis of the knee, a few things happen.

Shoulder Joint Replacement

Although shoulder joint replacement is less common than knee or hip replacement, it is just as successful in relieving joint pain. Shoulder replacement surgery was first performed in the United States in the 1950s to treat severe shoulder fractures. Over the years, shoulder joint replacement has come to be used for many other painful conditions of the shoulder, such as different forms of arthritis. Today, about 53,000 people in the U.S. have shoulder replacement surgery each year, according to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. This compares to more than 900,000 Americans a year who have knee and hip replacement surgery. If nonsurgical treatments like medications and activity changes are no longer helpful for relieving pain, you may want to consider shoulder joint replacement surgery . Joint replacement surgery is a safe and effective procedure to relieve pain and help you resume everyday activities. Whether you have just begun exploring treatment opti
