Robotic-assisted knee surgery is a budding surgical technique that is drawing an attention from surgeons and patients across the world in the recent times. It is an innovative technique alternative to the conventional surgical procedure in patients suffering from degenerative knee diseases such as osteoarthritis. It is performed using robotic-arm technology that allows the surgeon to precisely perform the surgery through a smaller incision as compared to traditional surgery.
In a recent medical research, it clearly indicated that robot-assisted joint replacement, arthroplasty to be precise, was more effective when surgeons use robotic arm technology. This technology which not only assists the surgeon in removing the diseased bone with great accuracy but also allows the surgeon to preserve undamaged portions of the joint. This approach to arthroplasty also provides a number of other advantages for the patient.
Robotic surgeries today are well accepted all over for their superior results especially in oncology(cancer), neurology and gastric surgery departments.
The Computer-assisted surgery technique is a technological approach that allows the surgeons to visualize the procedure they are performing simultaneously on the computer screen. Utilizing computer-assisted navigation, the surgeons can get the additional information or the real-time intraoperative feedback while performing. These systems are typically used to assist the surgeons with better alignment of implants, improved placement, and positioning of a prosthetics or surgical instruments, etc. Apart from the above, the navigation can also be used as an adjunct to fixation of fractures, for the higher precision of bone cuts, ligament reconstruction, preparation of the bone for joint arthroplasty, etc., than in classical orthopedic procedures.
