Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement Surgery

Robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery uses mapping technology to generate a 3D image of the patient's knee and a dynamic assessment of ligament tension throughout a full arc of motion. This real-time data helps guide your surgeon fine-tune the alignment and position of the implants to achieve a symmetrically balanced knee. Adjustments can be made to within a fraction of a millimeter or a degree which is not possible with traditional manual alignment techniques. This robotic-assisted device does not move or operate on its own, rather, it allows the surgeon to perform a highly accurate and precise knee replacement by:

• Using an infrared camera and optical trackers to help your surgeon gather the necessary data about your anatomy to achieve a high level of precision.
• Aiding them before and during the procedure by creating 3D images of the knee anatomy to provide insights for real-time decision making.
• Helping your surgeon remove the damaged bone and cartilage with accuracy, ensuring that the planned cuts are executed exactly as planned.

Our robotic-assisted platforms do not require patients to go through the expense and radiation exposure of a pre-operative CT scan.

It is estimated that 15% of current knee replacement patients are not fully satisfied after surgery due to persistent pain, stiffness, or instability.

Robotic-assisted knee replacement patients typically experience less pain and a faster recovery compared to traditional knee replacement surgery because the robot allows the surgeon to precisely adjust and align where the knee will be implanted while reducing the amount of soft tissue manipulation necessary to achieve a balanced knee. This results in a more natural-feeling knee movement while also reducing the time it takes to recover.

Robotic-assisted technology may deliver:

• A greater range of motion (how well you can bend and flex your knee after surgery)
• Less pain compared to traditional methods (less opioid pain medication consumption)
• Faster recovery times (reduced length of hospital stay, hospital readmissions, and number of physical therapy visits)
