FOUR BENEFITS OF ROBOTIC JOINT REPLACEMENT
There are several benefits of Robotic joint replacement that people barely know. However, before we introduce you to its benefits we should explain here how Robotic knee or joint replacement surgery works. So, the surgeon uses handheld robotics to precisely shape the surrounding bone before placing the knee implant. Proper navigation of each area is done to see even the remotest part of the knee. A 3D model of a patient’s knee is generated. It helps in mapping out the exact incisions and the right angles. Every knee surgery replacement is unique depending on the knee anatomy and the plant used. It removes only the damaged bone.
Earlier there were many myths about robotic surgery that the patients were afraid that the involvement of robotics in the surgery may harm them or that some fault could occur in the functioning of the robotics equipment. But such apprehensions proved wrong with robotic surgery’s success in knee or joint replacement.
1. EXPOSURE CONTROL
There is no need for a CT scan before undergoing a robotic knee replacement surgery. It is observed that a single CT scan is equivalent to an exposure of 48 chest X-rays received. There is no need for CT scans using an advanced computer program to collect anatomic and alignment information about your knee. So, a patient is saved from such harmful radiations which otherwise may harm him in other forms. This feature distinguishes this surgery from others in the most beneficial way.
2. Precision
The surgery is completed with the help of robotics which means there is more accuracy in the area of the knee which needs the surgery. The surgery is precise and restricted as exact incisions and angles can be targeted. This helps in securing the adjacent tissues which need no repair. The functioning of the robotic is such that it reduces the chance of putting the patient at risk. But one should be clear that it is a robot-controlled and not robot-centered technique.
3. Advanced- Modern Instrumentation
The surgery proceeds with the use of advanced instruments. It is designed to enforce bone resurfacing within the surgeon’s defined plan. Instruments and the surgeon’s plan go hand in hand. Another thing to be kept in mind is that the surgery is not dependent upon the instruments.
4. FLEXIBILITY AND CONFIDENCE
Another one of the knee replacement surgery benefits is flexibility. It offers multiple implant options and dynamic ligament balancing at multiple stages. There is virtual confirmation of cuts pre and post-bone removal in achieving long leg alignment and joint balance for normal knee kinematics.
