Robotic Knee Prosthesis

What is a Robotic Knee Prosthesis?

A robotic knee prosthesis is an innovative treatment method that utilizes advanced robotic technologies. In this method, an artificial prosthetic joint is placed in patients experiencing knee joint issues while ensuring that robotic systems are used with precision and accuracy. This approach helps the prosthesis fit the patient’s anatomy optimally and enhances the success of the operation. A robotic knee prosthesis can significantly improve patients' mobility and quality of life.

Who is Suitable for a Robotic Knee Prosthesis?

Robotic knee prosthesis is generally suitable for patients who have knee joint problems and have not achieved sufficient results from other treatment methods. Individuals experiencing pain, limited mobility, and a noticeable decline in quality of life may be candidates for robotic knee prosthesis surgery. Additionally, in cases requiring more precise and accurate surgical intervention—such as in patients with complex anatomical structures—a robotic knee prosthesis may be preferred. However, each patient's treatment plan should be individualized and determined by specialist doctors.

How is the Robotic Knee Prosthesis Surgery Performed?

Robotic knee prosthesis surgery is an innovative surgical procedure that uses advanced robotic technologies. The procedure typically involves the following steps:

1. Planning and Preparation: Initially, 3D images of the patient’s knee are obtained, and these images are used by the surgeon to create a surgical plan. The robotic surgical system utilizes this information to establish a precise roadmap for placing the prosthesis according to the patient's anatomy.

2. Placement of the Robotic Guide: During the surgery, a series of guides are placed in the movable part of the knee using the robotic surgical system. These guides provide precise assistance to the surgeon in accurately positioning the joint surfaces and placing the prosthesis.

3. Prosthesis Placement: With the help of robotic guides, the surgeon correctly positions and fully installs the artificial knee prosthesis. The robotic system assists the surgeon in preparing the joint surfaces accurately and placing the prosthesis in an optimal position.

4. Control and Adjustment: After the prosthesis is placed, the robotic system typically checks the position of the prosthesis and makes adjustments if necessary. This ensures the prosthesis fits the patient’s anatomy well and enhances the success of the surgery.

5. Closure and Rehabilitation: After the surgery is completed, the surgical incisions are stitched, and the surgical area is closed. To speed up the recovery process, physical therapy and rehabilitation programs are typically recommended in the post-operative period.

Robotic knee prosthesis surgery can improve the recovery process by providing more precise and accurate surgical intervention. However, each patient’s treatment plan should be individualized and determined by expert surgeons.

When Can I Be Discharged from the Hospital After Robotic Knee Prosthesis?

The time to be discharged from the hospital after robotic knee prosthesis surgery typically depends on the patient’s overall health status, the complexity of the surgery, and the post-operative recovery process. Generally, patients can usually be discharged within 1 to 3 days.

During the post-operative period, pain control should be managed, stitches checked, and physical therapy programs should be initiated. Your doctor will evaluate your recovery process and determine if you are suitable for discharge.

After being discharged, you should continue to rest at home and follow the activities and exercises recommended by your doctor. If you notice any signs of complications or issues during the post-operative period, you should immediately contact your doctor.

Each patient is different, and recovery times can vary individually. Therefore, it is important to closely adhere to your doctor's recommendations during the post-operative period and share any concerns or issues with your doctor.

What is the Recovery Process After Robotic Knee Prosthesis?

The recovery process after robotic knee prosthesis surgery can vary based on the patient’s overall health status, the complexity of the surgical procedure, physical activity level, and personal factors. However, it generally consists of the following stages:

1. Recovery Process in the Hospital: During your hospital stay after the surgery, pain control is managed, stitches are checked, and physical therapy programs may begin. During this process, the patient's overall health is closely monitored, and necessary precautions are taken for the early detection of any complications.

2. Home Recovery and Rehabilitation: After being discharged from the hospital, you should continue to rest at home and follow the activities and exercises recommended by your doctor. Physical therapy programs aim to regain muscle strength, increase joint mobility, and accelerate the process of returning to daily activities.

3. Pain and Discomfort: Mild to moderate pain, swelling, and discomfort are normal in the post-operative period. Pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medications recommended by your doctor usually help alleviate these symptoms. However, if you notice a significant increase or change in pain or discomfort, you should contact your doctor immediately.

4. Mobility and Function: During the recovery process, your ability to use your knee and mobility will gradually increase. Physical therapy and rehabilitation programs support this process, helping to regain joint mobility and muscle strength.

5. Doctor Visits and Follow-Up: It is important to attend regular follow-up visits with your doctor during the post-operative period. Your doctor will evaluate your recovery process and take necessary precautions to detect any issues early.

The recovery process after robotic knee prosthesis surgery can vary among patients and may require patience. However, by following your doctor’s recommendations and actively participating in physical rehabilitation programs, a successful recovery process is generally achieved.

Prices for Robotic Knee Prosthesis Surgery

The cost of robotic knee prosthesis surgery can vary depending on several factors and may differ from country to country and hospital to hospital. These factors include the cost of the technology and equipment used, the hospital's location and reputation, the surgeon’s experience, the complexity of the surgery, and the patient's overall health status.

In general, robotic knee prosthesis surgery tends to be more expensive than traditional knee prosthesis surgery due to the use of robotic systems and advanced technology. However, such surgeries can significantly improve the patient's quality of life and may be cost-effective in the long term.
