Frequently Asked Questions
What is robotic knee replacement?
Robotic knee replacement is knee replacement surgery performed by an orthopaedic surgeon with assistance from robotic technology for surgical planning and intraoperative guidance.
Is robotic knee replacement better than conventional knee replacement?
Robotic-assisted and conventional knee replacement are different surgical approaches. The appropriate option depends on the patient’s knee condition, anatomy, surgical requirements, and surgeon’s assessment.
Does the robot perform the knee replacement surgery?
No. The surgeon performs the operation. Robotic technology assists the surgeon with planning and guidance during selected parts of the procedure.
Who may need robotic knee replacement?
Patients with advanced knee arthritis and significant pain or functional limitations may be evaluated for knee replacement. Whether robotic assistance is appropriate depends on individual clinical and surgical factors.
Can knee arthritis be treated without replacement surgery?
Yes. Depending on the severity of arthritis, treatment may include physiotherapy, exercise, activity modification, medicines, weight management, and selected injections.
Is robotic knee replacement suitable for every patient?
No. Robotic assistance is not automatically required for every knee replacement. The decision depends on the patient’s anatomy, joint condition, surgical requirements, and the surgeon’s assessment.
How is robotic knee replacement planned?
Planning may involve clinical assessment and appropriate imaging. The surgeon uses this information to plan bone preparation, alignment, implant positioning, and other surgical considerations.
How long does robotic knee replacement take?
The duration varies according to the patient’s condition, surgical complexity, and whether additional procedures are required.
When can I walk after robotic knee replacement?
Walking is generally introduced according to the patient’s medical condition and rehabilitation protocol. The timing and level of walking support vary between patients.
Is physiotherapy necessary after robotic knee replacement?
Yes. Physiotherapy helps restore knee movement, muscle strength, balance, walking ability, and functional activity after surgery.
How long does recovery take after robotic knee replacement?
Recovery varies from person to person. Factors include overall health, pre-operative mobility, surgical complexity, muscle strength, rehabilitation, and adherence to post-operative instructions.
