What is robotic assisted knee replacement surgery?

In robotic assisted knee replacement surgery – or arthroplasty as it is referred to in medical terms – surgical expertise meets robotic technology, which offers you a world class option and greater choice in knee replacement surgery.

Accredited orthopaedic surgeons who are fully trained in the use of the robotic system operate the robotic arm which offers an extra level of precision, adding to the surgeon’s own technique and experience. This makes it possible for the intricate operation to be performed much less invasively.

Why consider robotic assisted surgery for your knee replacement?

Compared to traditional open or minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery:

  • Robotic assisted surgery enhances the capabilities of surgeons and the improved surgical precision results in better clinical and functional outcomes. The technology assists the surgeon to comprehensively and precisely plan the procedure before it actually takes place.

  • A large 3D full colour screen enhances the surgeon’s view of the area to be operated on, and the system also provides detailed auditory, and tactile feedback to the surgeon throughout the surgery.

  • The less invasive procedure results in less post-operative pain.

  • The system provides an additional safeguard because it checks the surgery in real time at each stage of the operation and stops the surgeon from cutting outside the boundaries of the specific dimensions identified in the pre-surgical plan.

  • Because of minimal interference with the surrounding soft tissues, the post-operative recovery is often quicker and more comfortable.

  • Surgical precision results in a better balanced implant that feels more natural.

  • The stability of the knee joint, as well as the range of motion and comfort a person enjoys after a knee replacement can be greatly influenced by the accuracy of the fit of the prosthetic joint for the specific patient.
