Robotic Vs. Traditional Knee Replacement Surgery:
Traditional Knee Replacement
In a traditional knee replacement procedure, the physician makes smaller incisions with a physical scalpel to shape the bone surfaces to match the prosthetic joint. Even though this treatment has been carried out successfully for many years, the surgeon’s skill level is a major determining factor.
Robotic Knee Replacement
A type of knee replacement known as “computer-navigated knee replacement” involves the surgeon using a robotic device to help with the knee replacement process. The bone is sliced and positioned by a robotic arm with the same level of accuracy that a surgeon would use to repair the implant. When compared to the traditional methods related to this technology, this is more precise and reliable.
