Knee pain shouldn’t control your life. For many suffering from arthritis, injury, or joint degeneration, knee replacement surgery becomes the best option for reclaiming mobility. But with medical technology advancing rapidly, you may have heard about a newer technique—robotic knee replacement. What is it exactly, and how is it different from the traditional approach?
In this blog, we break down what robotic knee replacement really means and why it’s becoming the gold standard in joint care.
🤖 What Is Robotic Knee Replacement?
Robotic-assisted knee replacement is a computer-guided surgical technique that enhances precision, alignment, and joint balance. Contrary to popular belief, the robot doesn’t perform the surgery on its own—your surgeon is still in full control. The robot acts as a tool that provides real-time data and enhanced accuracy.
At Dr. Dibya’s Clinic, we use advanced robotic systems to plan and execute the surgery down to sub-millimeter precision.
🔍 How It Works: Step-by-Step
Pre-Surgical 3D Planning:
Using a CT scan or advanced imaging, a 3D model of your knee is created to map out every detail of your joint.Intraoperative Guidance:
During surgery, the robotic system tracks your anatomy in real time and guides the surgeon based on the personalized surgical plan.Precise Implant Placement:
With the robot’s assistance, the surgeon places the knee implant with unparalleled precision—resulting in better alignment and longer-lasting results.
✅ Benefits of Robotic Knee Replacement
Greater Accuracy: Less chance of implant misalignment, which is a common reason for revision surgeries.
Smaller Incisions: Minimally invasive with less tissue damage.
Faster Recovery: Many patients walk the same day or the next day after surgery.
Reduced Pain & Swelling: Because of reduced soft tissue trauma.
Longer Implant Lifespan: Precision alignment means your new joint lasts longer.
🤔 Is It Safe? What Are the Risks?
Yes, robotic-assisted knee replacement is FDA-approved and backed by numerous studies. In fact, when performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Dibya Singha, it often results in fewer complications and better functional outcomes.
Risks are similar to traditional surgery—such as infection or blood clots—but they’re minimized with good surgical technique and post-op care.
