How is joint replacement done with robotics?
A knee replacement is a surgery performed on people who have naturally worn out knee joints. But we have a lot of use with technology that is increasing day by day. These robotics are also designed to provide better treatment to the patient. Because of this we can see a lot of improvement in surgery. This is a joint replacement procedure performed by a surgeon robotically. A robotic joint replacement is a joint replacement performed by a human surgeon with the help of a machine that gives precise instructions.
Are these robotic joint replacements different from conventional knee replacements?
A knee replacement differs from surgery performed by a human surgeon to robotics surgery. This is because these robotics are able to observe the knee perfectly and calculate how much wear and tear the knee needs, how much surgery is needed and provide information to the surgeon. This allows the surgeon to operate with greater precision.
What are the benefits of these robotics-assisted joint replacements?
It will tell you exactly how much and how many degrees the knee bends and how much bone cutting is needed. Even the smallest mistakes that our eyes are not aware of, the robot can detect and warn the surgeon during the surgery. Provides advice, instructions, and warnings for proper implant placement. Just as there are differences in humans, it can sense the differences in joint alignments, defects, severity of the problem and also inform the selection of the implant in which evolution without the need for extensive incisions. How much bone should be cut, how much surrounding tissue should be cut, etc., the robot receives the information. If the surgeon mistakenly tries to cut where it is not needed without room to cut even a millimeter more, the mission will stop immediately.
This results in less post-operative pain for the patient, shorter hospital stay, faster recovery and increased implant durability.
