The Recovery Process After Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery.

Knee replacement surgery has become a Minimally Invasive method during the past few years. The use of robots to help in replacement procedures is just one example of how medical technology always improves patient outcomes.

While the robot is an integral part of the robotic knee replacement process, it does not replace the knee itself; rather, it serves as a guide for your surgeon while they carry out the procedure. The robot bolsters your surgeon's abilities throughout the operation, increasing the likelihood that you will be in the best possible position to make a rapid and full recovery.

In that case, how long does it take to get back on your feet after a robotic knee replacement?

Within a matter of hours, most patients can put weight on the joint again. But the specific time frame for resuming regular activity is contingent on factors such as age, weight, and general health of the patient. After weeks, most patients can return to normal activities like grocery shopping and minor housekeeping. The accuracy of robot aid allows for a quicker and less agonising recovery.

Less Postoperative Pain and a Quicker Road to Recovery

Robotic Knee Replacement treatments necessitate fewer soft tissue releases than conventional ones. As a result, you'll have less discomfort and heal more rapidly. Moreover, the improved joint alignment your surgeon can deliver with Mako technology may allow you to resume more natural walking sooner.

Most patients undergoing a robotic-assisted joint replacement procedure can expect to return home the day after or the day after that procedure. The day before surgery, you can stand and walk with help. For a few days, maybe a week, you'll need to use a walker to help you maintain your balance as you walk. During the third week after surgery, most patients can walk without assistance. At least six weeks of PT will be required.

Patients experience significantly less pain after a knee replacement than they did after traditional complete knee replacements, thanks to improvements in pain management during surgery and the procedure.

Medical professionals use a combination of preoperative medication and intra-operative knee injections to keep you comfortable and reduce your need for narcotics. Similarly, we recommend spinal anaesthesia over general anaesthetic since the latter numbs only the brain and spinal cord, while the former numbs only the lower half of the body.

In other words, you'll feel more at ease and have a less painful recovery following surgery. It's also linked to a lower risk of post-operative problems like blood clots and infections. After surgery, weariness is the first thing that will be noticed. Even though this method is less invasive, it still takes time for your body to heal. After surgery, you can return to your desk job in the third or fourth week. Certain jobs, such as construction, require significant physical exertion and may require several months of recovery time.

To conclude 

A knee replacement performed with the help of robotic surgery is a cutting-edge method for increasing precision in the procedure. Human mistake is minimised thanks to this apparatus, which speeds up healing. Robotic surgery has shorter recovery times than traditional open and minimally invasive surgery. Patients gain from lower overall expenditures, and shorter hospital stays as a result of the efficiency of the treatment.

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
