Robotic Joint Replacement

A robotic knee joint replacement is comparable to a standard knee replacement in that it replaces the knee joint. The damaged tissue in your knee is removed and replaced with an artificial joint by your surgeon. The only difference is that it is done with the help of a robotic arm or a portable robotic device. Knee joint replacement is a therapeutic technique that relieves pain and improves the quality of life in people who have severe arthritis in their knees.

Robotic joint replacements help to treat various conditions, and they include patients with the following conditions:

• Complex degeneration
• Hardware from prior operations
• Deformities in the femur
• Complex knee-joint disease
• Osteoarthritis

Non Robotic Joint Replacement

Conventional or popularly known as the Traditional method of knee replacement is a method that has existed for the last many decades. Here, the surgeon operates the knee by making an 8 to 12 inches incision using standard tools and equipment. Many people have benefited from this surgery and can live without such problems.

Traditional surgery started a revolution in the medical sector and was very well received by society. But with research and development in this sector, new forms of surgery have come up to benefit the patients in a more easy and effective way. Such surgeries are one step ahead of the traditional method of knee replacement surgery. Basically, these surgeries can be treated as the roots of the same tree with modern features as additional benefits.
