Robotic and Computer Navigated Joint Reconstruction
What is robotic and computer-navigated joint replacement?
Robotic and computer-navigated joint replacement is a surgical technique utilising advanced technology to perform joint replacement surgeries. It is well-known for its accuracy and precision to improve surgical outcomes, particularly in complex surgeries. It is often known as robotic-assisted joint replacement . It is commonly used for partial and total knee replacements and hip replacements. In this procedure, the surgeon replaces damaged bones and cartilage with artificial entities, usually made up of metal alloys, polymers, and high-grade plastics.
There are several different varieties of robotic assistance that are re-utilised in joint reconstruction surgery. When you consult an orthopaedic surgeon, they initially conduct diagnostic tests to find out the disease. It is challenging to place the individual components of robotic joints (artificial joints) to replace the damaged ones in the best possible alignment so that they coordinate together and work smoothly. The robotic systems used in this procedure are Navio, Mako, Omni, and Mazor robotic systems. A robotic system comprises the following accessories:
Robotic arm: It is a mechanical and programmable arm that functions as humans. It is often called a robotic hand. It is attached to the surgical table and is equipped with various surgical and medical instruments, like drills, saws, and scissors. Computer software: It is software-linked and connected to the robotic arm, and it informs the surgeon about the results, current conditions, feedback, and guidance. Intraoperative imaging: It is an imaging tool used to get the internal images of the bones and joints where the surgery is taking place. It helps in precise navigation and alignment of the joints in the right positions.
Some of the common procedures performed using robotic joint replacement include:
1. Knee replacement surgery
2. Hip replacement surgery
3. Shoulder replacement surgery
4. Ankle replacement surgery
Benefits of robotic and computer-navigated joint reconstruction
Robotic and computer-navigated joint reconstruction surgeries offer a wide range of advantages. It ranges from earlier recovery to cost-effectiveness post-surgeries. A few benefits include:
1. The robotic system ensures that the implants are placed in proper alignment, resulting in unmatched precision and accuracy.
2. As it is a minimally invasive surgery, it often results in less trauma, blood loss, and scarring, which helps reduce risks and complications.
3. As there will be minimal blood loss and post-surgical complications, it offers less recovery time and ensures a shorter hospital stay.
4. The minimally invasive technique used in the surgery reduces pain and discomfort after the surgery.
5. It offers improved patient outcomes and satisfaction. This also ensures that the procedure is safer and affirms the longevity of the surgery’s outcomes.
Conclusion
In a nutshell, robotic joint replacement surgery is an advanced technique used in modern days, which provides greater precision, a high degree of accuracy, better visualisation, quick recovery, and a long-term success rate. By integrating state-of-the-art robotic systems with computer-assisted navigation, this technique offers a cutting-edge novel surgical approach, ensuring minimal post-surgical complications. At Adarsh Hospital, we have advanced robotic equipment that can foster and enhance surgical outcomes. However, the versatility of the newer technology makes it an indispensable tool in treating a wide range of orthopaedic conditions.

It's my first review after my surgery I have never ever seen one of the best hospital Adarsh hospital which is located in super market in Kalyan karanataka kalburgi region Dr alok is one of the best doctor I request all kalyan people take benifits visit this hospital for better treatment. And with well trained staff people are very friendly good.
