Robotic Joint Replacement and Reconstruction

The knee is a joint that works really hard. While one is walking, bending, or even standing, the health of the knee depends on a well-tuned system of bones, ligaments, cartilage, muscles and nerves. If an injury or an infection or arthritis affects any part of our knee, we may need knee treatment or even a knee replacement surgery.

In any orthopedic procedure, precision is extremely vital. The more accurate a surgeon's measurement tools are, the better they can plan and perform the surgery. SNH Orthopaedics' Robotic Knee Replacement Technology assists our seasoned surgeons in highly precise partial or total knee replacement surgeries. These latest innovative technologies take into account each person's unique anatomy for the best possible results. We have an experienced team of expert surgeons who specialize in robotic knee replacement surgeries

What is Robotic Knee Replacement?

A robotic knee replacement procedure is similar to a traditional knee replacement (TKR). The objective of both procedures is to remove damaged and worn out tissues in your knee and replace it with an artificial joint. The difference is that in a traditional TKR methodology, the surgeon uses his experience and some other tools to do the surgery and in a Robotic TKR, the surgeon uses assistance from a robotic arm to perform the surgery with precision.

Robotic knee replacements are ideal for even the most complex knee joint disease. This includes patients who have:

  • Deformities in the femur after an injury
  • Complex degeneration
  • Hardware from previous surgeries

What are the Advantages of Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery?

There are several advantages of robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery when compared with traditional surgery. Advantages include:

Enhanced surgical planning

This helps your surgeon more accurately plan the optimal type and placement of your replacement joint to ensure the right size and fit.

Greater precision

Robotic technologies enhance your orthopaedic surgeon’s expertise for more precise planning, tissue removal and implant placement. This can cause faster recovery times, fewer complications and a lower likelihood of revision surgery.

More ligament-sparing options

With the added precision and accuracy from the robotic-assisted knee replacement system, ligament-sparing total knee replacement surgery is available to more patients than ever before.

FAQ's for Knee Replacement?

That's why we've compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help make the process as smooth as possible for you.

Before surgery you will need to have a physical exam and preadmission testing, participate in preoperative education classes and prepare your home for when you return after surgery. While these steps can take a few weeks, they will help you achieve long-term success after your knee replacement surgery.

Typically, you will stay in the hospital one to three days after surgery, depending on how quickly you progress with physical therapy. Once you’re able to walk longer distances and are making consistent progress, you’ll be ready to go home.

Your surgeon will follow your care throughout your hospital stay. It is likely that you’ll see your surgeon, physician assistant or nurse practitioner several times while in the hospital recovering. You will also have a follow-up appointment at the orthopedic clinic two to four weeks after surgery.

After surgery, you will notice discolored skin, some swelling and drainage around your incision. This is normal. If you experience painful redness, abnormal swelling or thick, bad smelling drainage from your incision, you might have an infection. A temperature over 101°F also could indicate an infection.
