Robotic Knee Resurfacing

Robotic Knee Resurfacing

The knee is one of the most complex joints in your body. It connects your thigh bone to your shinbone (tibia and fibula), and acts as a shock absorber for your leg. While you’re walking, crouching, or even standing still, your knee depends on a well-tuned system of bones, ligaments, cartilage, muscles, and nerves. If an injury, arthritis or another condition affects any of these parts, you may need a knee replacement surgery. Accuracy is important in these procedures. The more accurate the surgeon’s measuring tools, the better the surgery can be planned and performed. Today’s world is seeing the advent of new technologies in the medical field. Robotic knee resurfacing is growing in popularity over conventional methods.

Knee replacement surgery using robotic technology allows an orthopaedic surgeon to be incredibly accurate. With the technology, the surgeon can place implants in near perfect orientation and with almost 100% precision, which leads to a more comfortable knee for the patient.
