» Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement.

• Robotic-assisted surgery for total knee replacement is a medical technology that uses a robotic arm to assist the surgeon during the operation. It enhances the precision and accuracy of implant placement, ensuring the best possible fit for each patient. This leads to a faster recovery and a reduced risk of complications.

» Working principle or How it works.

• Robotic surgery doesn't mean a robot performs the operation instead of a doctor. The robot acts as a tool that helps the surgeon operate with greater precision.

» Generally, the working procedure consists of

• Preoperative planning. The surgeon uses data from a CT scan to create a 3D model of the patient's knee. This model is then used for detailed surgical planning, from determining the precise bone cuts to selecting the appropriate size and position of the implant.
• The surgery itself. During the operation, the robotic arm controls the surgical instruments, such as the saw blade, to move with high precision (up to 0.2 mm) according to the pre-determined plan. It also prevents the instruments from cutting outside the planned area, which minimizes damage to the surrounding tissues and ligaments.
