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.
