ROBOTIC TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT

Robotic Knee Replacement is a minimally invasive joint surgery assisted by a robotic arm or navigation system. It does not replace the surgeon — instead, it gives them 3D visualisation, real-time feedback, and millimetre-level precision during surgery. This ensures accurate bone cuts, ideal implant placement, and a more natural knee movement after recovery.

1. Osteoarthritis of the Knee

Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is one of the most common causes of knee pain and stiffness in adults. It occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the knee joint gradually wears down, leading to friction, inflammation, and reduced mobility.

1.1. Causes of Knee Osteoarthritis

  • Aging and natural wear-and-tear of the joint

  • Previous knee injury or surgery

  • Excess body weight (increases stress on the knee)

  • Family history of arthritis

  • Repeated stress on the knee joint (sports, heavy work)

1.2. Symptoms

  • Pain during walking, climbing stairs, or prolonged standing

  • Morning stiffness or after rest

  • Swelling around the knee

  • Reduced movement and difficulty squatting or sitting cross-legged

  • Crepitus (grating sound) during knee movement

1.3. Diagnosis

  • Clinical examination by an orthopedic specialist

  • X-rays to confirm joint space narrowing, bone spurs

  • MRI in selected cases for cartilage and soft tissue assessment

2. Robotic Total Knee Replacement

Robotic Total Knee Replacement is an advanced surgical technique where a robotic system assists the surgeon in performing knee replacement with high precision. Instead of manual alignment, the robotic system maps the patient’s anatomy, allowing personalized implant positioning with millimeter accuracy.

2.1. Advantages of Robotic Knee Replacement

  • Smaller incision and minimally invasive approach

  • Higher accuracy in implant placement

  • Faster recovery and early return to activity

  • Less blood loss and reduced post-operative pain

  • Longer implant life due to perfect alignment

  • Ability to walk the next day in most patients

2.2. Who Needs Knee Replacement?

  • Patients with severe osteoarthritis who experience:

    • Persistent pain despite medications and physiotherapy

    • Difficulty walking short distances

    • Knee deformity (bow-legged or knock-knee)

    • Poor quality of life due to limited mobility
