Expert Article: Robotic Knee Replacement For Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis occurs when there is a breakdown of the cushioning cartilage in the knee. Bones begin to rub against each other causing pain, swelling and stiffness affecting routine daily activities. While there is no cure for osteoarthritis, there are multiple treatment options to manage pain and potentially delay disease progression. If osteoarthritis progresses to an advanced stage and is causing severe pain, surgery including partial or total knee replacement may be the best option.
If surgery happens to be the best recourse, you should be happy to know that the NAVIO-CORI Robotic Surgery platform is one of the foremost healthcare innovations of this century and we strongly believe that this is the future of knee surgery. Robotic Knee Replacements have the potential to RECOVER FASTER, FEEL BETTER and LAST LONGER.
Partial Knee Replacement, where only the diseased part of the knee is resurfaced (replaced), can benefit patients with early to mid-stage osteoarthritis. Total Knee Replacement, where the entire knee joint is resurfaced, is generally reserved for advanced osteoarthritis affecting multiple compartments of the knee.
A knee replacement consists of three basic steps:
1.
Skin
and
soft
tissue
over
the
affected
knee
is
incised.
Muscles
are
retracted
to
gain
access
to
underlying
bone
surfaces.
2.
Damaged
cartilage
coating
at
the
end
of
the
femur
(thigh
bone)
and
tibia
(shin
bone)
is
removed
manually
or
with
robotic
assistance.
3.
Removed
cartilage
coating
and
bone
is
replaced
with
metallic
components
-
to
recreate
the
femoral
and
tibial
surfaces.
These
metallic
parts
are
cemented
in
place.
*Step 2 is the key.
Step 2 may be executed with conventional instruments by surgeon judgement OR may be planned on the computer & executed with conventional instruments (Computer Assisted - Navigated Surgery) OR may be planned and executed by the NAVIO-CORI robotics platform = Robotic Knee Replacement.
Greater accuracy and precision leads to less tissue damage, consistent and repeatable technique leads to fewer errors and individualised surgical plans ensure natural feeling knees. Your Knees can now RECOVER FASTER, FEEL BETTER and LAST LONGER.
