Best Robotic Knee Replacement in India: Precision, Safety & Faster Recovery

What is Robotic Knee Replacement?

Knee replacement is a surgical technique used to replace worn-out or damaged knee joint components with artificial implants made of plastic and metal. Robotic-assisted knee replacement is a minimally invasive treatment that improves surgical accuracy by utilizing cutting-edge technology. It is employed in individuals with severe arthritis & other conditions whose symptoms have not improved with medicine, physical therapy, or conventional approaches.

The robotic arm does not perform the surgery itself, nor can it make decisions or move on its own; however, it is meant to enhance the surgeon’s skill rather than replace it.

Robotic Knee Surgery: Preparation, Recovery, and Post-Procedure

Before the procedure:

Imaging tests like knee X-rays and CT scans are performed before the procedure, along with a physical examination to assess the knee joint and ensure high precision.
Preoperative exercises are recommended to improve flexibility & strengthen the knee muscles.
Additionally, the patients are advised to stop taking any medications such as blood thinners, as they interfere with the procedure, and are instructed to fast for at least 8 hours.
Smoking and alcohol consumption should be avoided before surgery, as they may affect anesthesia and the healing process.
Finally, it is also important to discuss with your doctor any ongoing or recent dental procedure history to prevent post-surgical infections.

During the Procedure:

To reduce the likelihood of pain & discomfort during the procedure, anesthesia will be given at first. A tiny incision will then be made in the knee joint to access the damaged bone or ligament, replace it with artificial implants, and restore knee function. Unlike the traditional technique that relies on human hands to position the implants, robotic knee replacement uses robotic arms to assist surgeons in removing and replacing damaged joints. Using real-time data from 3D images generated by knee CT scans, the procedure is carried out with high precision. After the successful implant placement, the incision is closed using sutures.

Recovery

Although recovery periods vary from person to person, the ideal healing time may range from 4-6 weeks. Unlike traditional hospital stays, which require longer recovery periods, the patient who has undergone robotic knee replacement may return home in 3–4 days, requiring shorter hospital stays.

Postoperative Care of Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery:

Apply Ice packs to ease discomfort and swelling of the knees
Avoid activities such as long-term standing or doing tasks that strain your knees.
Follow the exercises suggested by the doctor to promote healing.
Use walking aids like crutches or walkers while you are walking.
Use pillows to keep the lower leg slightly elevated, as it relieves discomfort
Keep the incision area clean, and contact your doctor if you notice symptoms such as redness, swelling, or drainage from the wound.
Stay hydrated & consume protein-rich food to ensure the best healing.
Take the prescribed antibiotic or pain medication as suggested.
Follow up to ensure the knee is healing or to detect any complications.

Benefits of Robotic Knee Replacement:

• Minimal Invasiveness: Less painful and faster recovery due to smaller incisions.
• Enhanced Safety: Real-time imaging lowers the risk of damage to surrounding tissues, making it a highly precise and safe procedure.
• Minimal Complications: Advanced imaging and robotic guidance minimize complications, such as nerve damage or infections.
• Long-Term Results: Appropriate implant placement through robotic technology reduces the risk of implant failure, improving knee stability.
• Minimal scarring: Overall improvement in knee function and range of motion with little scarring.
