Joint pain and knee-related problems are commonly seen in people above 50 and even youngsters. Certain factors such as obesity, arthritis, lack of physical activity, inflammatory illnesses, and lifestyle diseases have induced these problems causing immobility in people. A large number of people suffer from knee problems leading to knee degeneration and avoid opting for knee replacement surgery because of the misconceptions related to it. Thankfully, due to cutting-edge technology, it is not possible to undergo knee replacement surgery without any concern. You will be surprised to know that Robotic-assisted technology can give you promising results without any side effects. It is safe, accurate, precise, and efficacious.

The landscape of orthopedic medicine has changed dramatically with the latest emergence of robotic knee replacement surgeries. These advanced technological procedures have transformed surgical outcomes, rendering them more accurate, and less invasive, and ensuring faster recovery for patients. Whereas conventional knee replacements were marked by approximate manual placement and substantial recovery timelines, robotics now promise precision like never before.

This is how robotic-assisted will be beneficial for the patients

• Medical robotics has flipped the page in the orthopaedics narrative, unshackling patients from the brutality of traditional invasive surgeries.Advanced technology has revolutionized the field of joint replacement surgery, mainly when it comes to knee-related problems or injuries. Did you know? Robotic-assisted surgery offers numerous advantages, including precision, customization, and reduced complications. This procedure involves advanced 3D scans that help the surgeon to develop a  3D customized plan for each patient leading to successful recovery and outcome of the surgery. Robotic surgery is done minimally invasively which means a shorter hospital stay and reduced pain.
• Moreover, robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery is not painful and one can recover in a shorter duration. During this surgery, a 3D plan is tailor-made for each patient with the help of advanced CT scans. Hence, there is no room for error and the surgery is done swiftly. The software helps to calculate the knee size and takes the required measurements. Therefore, the surgery is accurate and precise and there is no damage to the surrounding tissues of the knees.
• It is a minimally-invasive type of surgery means small incisions are made instead which aren’t painful, there is lesser pain and shorter hospital stay. This type of surgery reduces the chances of complications such as infections, dislocation, and implant wear and the implant can last for a longer time. So, the future holds promising outcomes powered by robotic knee replacement surgeries.
