Robotic Surgery (Computer Assisted Surgery)
Success of a total knee replacement is closely linked to accurate alignment and implantation of the prosthesis in the joint. Robotic assisted surgery helps improve success rates and gives surgeons clarity while performing difficult joint replacement procedures. By reducing ambiguities in the knee joint, the surgeon can make a better-informed decision when placing the new joint.
Robotic assisted surgery works much like a GPS for the operating room. The computer navigation system uses "trackers" or "pointers" to send data pertaining to knee movement and informs the surgeon on the operating conditions. With a computer navigation system, surgeons have a much clearer view of the joint, making the alignment and implantation much more precise.
