Dr. Balwant Singh Hunjan is the one who brought the 1st True robot in North India for benefiting patient’s health and offering the ultimate comfort throughout the surgery.  In his 38 years of experience he has been committed to provide quality treatment with no pain and better results.
To create awareness and help knee pain patients, our experienced orthopedic surgeons have generously shed light on what are the top things you need to know about robotic knee replacement surgery and its difference with conventional knee replacement.

What is robotic knee replacement?

MakoPlasty Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement has brought new dimensions to the way surgical treatment is done. This edge-cutting procedure is an ideal choice for patients who are looking for knee replacement or diagnosed with middle-stage osteoarthritis within the:
  • Inner Knee Compartments
  • Outer knee Compartments
  • Top Knee compartments
This procedure is ideal for partial and total knee replacement. The robotic arm steady and precise movement to conduct knee resurfacing. With robotic knee replacement, only the disease part is resurfaced, sparing the surrounding healthy tissues and bones. The surgeon places the implant in its position to enable the knee to function like normal.

Who is the suitable candidate for robotic knee replacement?

If you are a suitable candidate for traditional knee replacement, then you can undergo the Mako Robotic Arm-Assisted Technology. Bear in mind, that in the initial visit you are not going to be recommended for the surgery. As there are different knee replacement options but to choose the best one the doctor will first analyze your condition. Initially, less-invasive options are suggested to you and it includes the following:
  • Physical Therapy
  • Knee braces
  • Cortisone shots
  • Anti-inflammatory medications
  • Weight loss through exercise and diet
With the avant-garde technology, the entire treatment scenario has been changed. Younger patients can undergo the treatment and their normal working regime gets back on track. Just talk with the doctor for better understanding.

So, does it mean robots can now do the surgery?

No.
What is Robotic Knee Surgery?
Dr. Balwant Singh Hunjan and his fellow doctors always ensure to clear this doubt, the patients have. It is a surgical procedure that allows the surgeon to use a computed tomography scan or 3D model for guidance to perform a better course of action. The robot conducts the operation but is commanded by the ortho surgeon all the time and it is like a helping hand to improve the surgical accuracy. With the robotic arm surgery the following range of task are performed:

  • Prepare the bone
  • Introducing the implant
  • Balance the implant
  • Check for the right fit

Benefits of Robotic Knee Replacement

MAKO Assisted Robotic Technology has been widely welcomed and it has a higher satisfaction rate. Let’s talk you through the key benefits of robotic knee replacement surgery:

  • Economical Long-Term Costs: Patients who undergo robotic knee replacement surgery have fewer complications which means it allows the patient to return to the hospital on time. The recovery is quick and the appointments to the hospital are fewer. If we consider this in the long term then surgery will be economical for you.
  • Reduced Incision: With RKR, the incision is only 3 inches long which leads to less blood loss and scarring.
  • Increased Accuracy: Through RKR, the surgeon is allowed to accurately remove the diseased part of the knee and position it with a new implant that offers better knee functioning.
  • Successful results: There is no other treatment that has worked wonders like robotic-assisted knee surgery. Its results are 10 times superior as compared to conventional surgery.
  • Minimal downtime: This surgery offers minimal downtime and mostly the patients start to even within 24 hours.
  • Organic results: Here what we mean is natural results. The robotic machine holograms are designed to produce the implant which is the same as that of the knee.

In all, the procedure is safe, no risk of blood loss, tissue damage, or severe complications and provides the best results to the patients. So, if your knee pain is in excess, undergo this surgical approach to live your life like normal.

Robotic Surgery Features

  • 3D models accurately orient, align, and implant.
  • Provide real time intraoperative adjustments for correct placement and ensuring the soft-tissue balance.
  • Minimally invasive treatment allows faster recovery.

Difference: Robotic-assisted and Conventional Knee Replacement

Key points Robotic-assisted Knee Replacement Conventional Knee Replacement
Treatment Innovative approach in the field of medical science. The traditional method to carry out knee surgery.
Precision The surgeon gets better precision to conduct the knee resurfacing. The knee resurfacing is done by the surgeon.
Joint view Surgeons have a better view of the knee anatomy with the use of 3D models for guidance. Surgeons have limited joint view which makes it a demanding procedure.
Incision Maximum 3 inches long 8 to 10 inches long.
Nearby tissues Nearby tissues and knee areas are not impacted. Increase the risk of affecting the nearby knee area and tissues.
Total Time Takes time to do the surgery, but improves the success rate and outcomes. Takes a long time to perform.
Outcomes 10 times more successful than conventional surgery Provides results but takes a lot of time.
Recovery  2 to 3 weeks 8 Weeks
