Overview of Total Robotic Knee Replacement
Robotic total knee replacement is an advanced form of knee replacement surgery that uses robotic-assisted and computer-guided technology to support surgical planning and implant positioning. The technology helps create a patient-specific surgical plan based on individual knee anatomy.
During surgery, the robotic platform provides real-time information while the surgeon remains fully responsible for every surgical decision and step of the procedure.
The objectives of robotic total knee surgery include:
