What is robotic knee replacement?

Robotic knee replacement is a surgical procedure that uses robotic technology to assist in the precise removal of the damaged knee joint and accurate placement of the artificial implant, enhancing joint stability and reducing tissue damage.

How does robotic knee replacement differ from traditional methods?

Unlike traditional methods that rely on 2D imaging and manual techniques, robotic knee replacement utilizes 3D imaging and robotic assistance for personalized surgical planning and precise implant positioning, leading to better outcomes.

What are the benefits of robotic knee replacement?

Benefits include enhanced precision, personalized surgical planning, reduced soft tissue damage, faster recovery, and lower risk of complications and revision surgeries.

Who is eligible for robotic knee replacement?

Candidates typically include individuals with severe knee joint disorders, such as osteoarthritis, who have not responded to conservative treatments and are deemed suitable after a thorough medical evaluation.

What is the recovery time after robotic knee replacement?

Recovery times can vary, but patients often experience faster rehabilitation and return to daily activities sooner compared to traditional knee replacement methods.

Looking for Pune's top robotic knee replacement surgeon? Reach out to Deccan Hardikar Hospital — your destination for next-generation robotic joint replacement in India. Similar to the advanced CUVIS Joint launch, this cutting-edge technology is transforming outcomes in Robotic Total Knee Replacement procedures. In this method, a robot performs precise surgical bone cuts and helps define soft tissue tension, ensuring greater accuracy and consistency. Thanks to this technological superiority, procedures using a system like the CUVIS Joint are expected to deliver significantly better post-operative results compared to manual techniques. A typical robotic knee replacement using the CUVIS Joint includes:

In-clinic Diagnosis
Pre-surgery Planning (Virtual Simulation)
Discharge from Hospital
CT-Scan
Autonomous Robotic Surgical Procedure

Machine Used for Artificial Knee Replacement Surgery

The CUVIS Joint Robot for knee replacement is built on four key principles:

Simplicity

Streamlined surgical workflow for surgeons
User-friendly interface for easy operation
Reduced learning curve and improved efficiency

Accuracy

Real-time tracking for precise implant positioning
Patient-specific planning using 3D imaging
Minimizes errors and enhances long-term implant success

Flexibility

Customizable planning based on individual anatomy
Supports both Total and Partial Knee Replacement
Adapts to different surgical approaches and techniques

Safety

Minimally invasive technique reduces tissue damage
Lower risk of post-operative complications
Enhances overall patient safety and recovery outcomes

Total Knee Replacement (TKR) procedures have significantly evolved, thanks to advancements in implant materials and a deeper understanding of knee joint biomechanics. Achieving precise alignment of the implant components and ensuring proper soft tissue balance are now recognized as critical factors for the long-term success of TKR.

CONVENTIONAL KNEE REPLACEMENT

Manual alignment of implant based on surgeon’s experience
Larger incision (usually 8–10 inches)
Higher chances of variation in implant positioning
Longer hospital stay and recovery period
Less customization to patient’s anatomy
More post-operative pain and slower mobility regain

ROBOTIC KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY

Computer-assisted, highly accurate implant placement
Smaller incision (around 4–6 inches)
Improved alignment and joint function
Faster recovery and shorter hospital stay
Personalized surgical planning with 3D imaging
Reduced post-operative pain and complications

ADVANTAGES OF ROBOTIC KNEE REPLACEMENT

Ensures accurate implant placement for better joint alignment.
Uses 3D imaging to tailor the procedure to the patient's unique anatomy.
Minimally invasive approach with less tissue damage.
Reduced hospital stay and quicker return to daily activities.
Minimally invasive techniques lead to reduced pain and bleeding.
Improved accuracy reduces chances of implant failure and revision surgery.
Enhanced alignment and stability improve implant lifespan.
Technology ensures repeatable precision across every procedure.
Real-time feedback and data-driven planning.

Undergoing a robotic knee replacement, especially with advanced systems like the CUVIS Joint, offers numerous post-surgery advantages that contribute to faster healing and better long-term results.

Post-Surgery Benefits :

Reduced Pain & Swelling : Robotic precision leads to minimal soft tissue damage, helping reduce post-operative discomfort.
Faster Recovery Time : Patients typically start walking with support within a day or two.
Improved Joint Alignment : Accurate implant positioning leads to better knee function and longevity of the joint.
Shorter Hospital Stay : Many patients are discharged within 2–4 days.
Quicker Return to Normal Activities : Most people resume daily activities within 3–6 weeks.
