Robotics in Knee Replacement Unparalleled precision for pain relief and a normal life

Robotic Knee Replacement 

Robotic Knee Replacement
Arthritis is a common cause of hip and knee pain. It can be degenerative (osteoarthritis), inflammatory (rheumatoid, lupus), post-traumatic or due to avascular necrosis (lack of blood to the bone). Hip and knee replacement surgery are performed once patients have exhausted non-operative treatment. These surgeries are traditionally done with help of bone cutting guides, but today, the most advanced robotic-assisted technology for knee replacement surgery is a novel alternative to conventional surgical techniques.
During knee replacement surgery, there are multiple surgical variables that are manually controlled by the Knee Replacement Surgeon. The challenge of aligning the implants and preparing the bones to accept it can be complex, invasive and time-consuming as no two knee joints are exactly the same. The robotic system of knee replacement is designed to help the surgeon not only plan the surgery based on a patient’s unique anatomy, but also position the total knee implant using a combination of computer and robotic assistance. Robotic knee surgery allows the surgeon to collect patient-specific data during the procedure to build a 3D model of the patient’s knee to help plan the surgery. During the procedure, a handheld robotics-assisted tool is used to position the specific cut guides exactly as intended, based on the patient-model.
“What we see now is this is providing sub-millimetre, sub-degree accuracy, and there’s no way that with hand-held instruments — a saw — that we normally use that we can achieve that.”, said Dr. Avtar Singh, Head of Department of Orthopedics at Amandeep Hospital. “The robot gives me the right kind of information to make the surgery as precise and accurate as possible. Another added advantage is that it creates virtual boundaries on the bone surface. This means, if I try to deviate from the plan either intentionally or unintentionally, the robot will not let me cut any other structure than the damaged bone.” he added. Further, he added, “As the technology has changed tremendously, now a day’s winter season is as good as summer for any type of joint replacement, especially with the assistance of Robot.” Robotic technology in knee replacement is known to:

Robotic Knee Replacement

Decrease blood loss

The blood loss is minimal as the technique offers accurate results and treats only that part of the knee which needs to be replaced.

Speed up recovery

No other knee replacement surgery is as effective as the robotic knee replacement. It lets the person stand back on his feet within a few days after the surgery.

Improve knee function

A natural feel makes way for improvement in knee function and mobility. The knee joint after the surgery renders utmost comfort to the patient.

Help the patients get back to their normal life much quicker

Robotic knee replacement has given the gift of a normal life to a great number of patients. Patients themselves express their delight of bouncing back to their normal lives after getting their knees replaced through robotic technique. Dr. Avtar Singh at Amandeep Hospital is one of the early adopters of this proven technology which was introduced in India just over a year ago. The NAVIO Robotics Surgical System although relatively new in India has over 150 installations in the USA with close to 20,000 surgeries already performed. Being the first Punjabi surgeon to perform robotic knee replacement surgery, he has successfully transformed many lives by making them pain-free and independent.
“We have the best technology available for patients in India itself. Our aim at Amandeep is to always offer the best quality of care to the patients. Each patient deserves the gift of pain-free movement” said Dr. Avtar Singh, an orthopaedic surgeon in Punjab. Get a touch of the healing power of this technique and bask in the glory of a new life.

Knee Pain - Causes and Treatment

One of the most common complaints these days is of knee pain. Although knee pain is unpleasant and irritating, the good news is that it is often a treatable issue. According to Dr. Avtar Singh, one of the best orthopaedics surgeon in Punjab, there is a set pattern to diagnose any knee pain. The process embarks upon with the focus on the medical history, where the details of the pain are sorted, such as what does the pain feels like (e.g. sharp, aching or burning), when did the pain begin (e.g. gradually or suddenly), or if there was any trauma (e.g. blow to the knee) etc. Besides the medical history, the doctor also recommends knee joint examination and possibly asks for imaging tests in order to have an accurate diagnosis. Once this is done, it gets easier for you and the doctor to figure out the key causes for the knee pain and an effective treatment plan is chalked out, that speeds up the knee healing process.
