Mako® Robotic Arm For Hip & Knee Replacement Surgery
Robotic arm-assisted hip and knee replacement surgery involves the use of a sophisticated robotic system to aid surgeons in performing the procedure with unprecedented accuracy. The system includes a robotic arm, a computer console, and specialised software. Before the surgery, the patient undergoes a detailed preoperative planning process, where a three-dimensional model of the hip or knee is created based on imaging studies.
During the surgery, the surgeon guides the robotic arm using the console, which translates their movements into highly precise actions. The robotic arm assists in tasks such as bone preparation, implant positioning, and soft tissue balancing. Real-time feedback allows the surgeon to make adjustments and ensures optimal alignment and placement of the implants.
FAQs on Robotic Arm-Assisted Hip & Knee Replacement Surgery
Knowing more about Robotic Arm-Assisted Hip & Knee Replacement Surgery surgery can help you feel prepared and more at ease.
How does Robotic Arm-Assisted Hip & Knee Replacement Surgery work?
Mako® is a robotic arm that works in tandem with your surgeon, combining innovative technology with the skills and expertise of your consultant.
Before the surgery, you will receive a CT scan on-site of the joint which builds a customised 3D digital model of your knee to determine the right size and shape of implant for you. A personalised preoperative plan will then be discussed with you.
During the surgery your knee will be registered with the 3D model and the surgeon will be asked to take a series of bone points with a probe which the surgeon will see live on screen verifying that the registered CT scan and your hip or knee match.
The surgeon then guides the robotic-arm to remove the diseased bone with more precision and accuracy.
To help ensure correct placement and alignment, the robotic-arm guides the implant at the desired angle defined in the preoperative plan.
Assessment of the movement and tension of your new joint follows implant insertion.
Where can I have Robotic-Assisted Hip & Knee Replacement Surgery?
TLIF surgery generally takes two to three hours and is performed under general anaesthetic so you are fully asleep. Your surgeon will access the spine through a small incision and remove the damaged disc. They will then insert a bone graft, which may come from your own bone, a donor bone or an artificial substitute, or a small cage into the space to help the bones fuse together. The spine will then be stabilised with small screws and rods to hold the bones in place while they heal. These are usually left in place unless they cause problems later. Over many months, your natural bone grows into the graft, creating a solid fusion and stopping the painful movement at that part of the spine.
