Total knee replacement (TKR) is typically indicated for patients with extensive damage to the knee joint. In this procedure the worn out parts of both the lower end of the femur ( thigh bone) and upper end of the tibia ( shin bone) are replaced with artificial components , designed to mimic the natural movement of a healthy knee.
Patients undergoing TKR can expect significant pain relief and improved mobility, allowing them to return to most daily activities that may have been difficult or impossible before surgery. The recovery process usually involves physiotherapy to strengthen the knee and regain range of motion.
Robotic Knee Replacements allow for the following advantages for the patient.
- Better fit of the prosthesis with the patient’s anatomy.
- More natural result and feel of the prosthesis.
- Better alignment and balancing of the knee.
- A more durable prosthesis.
- Less tissue destruction.
- Speedier recovery.
- Shorter hospital stay.
- Quicker rehabilitation.
- Faster return to normal activities.
