FRIDAY, May 10, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- Robot-assisted total knee replacements tend to have better outcomes on average, a new study reports. Unfortunately, there’s a downside – having a...

Oct 2, 2024 · Mako robotic-arm assisted orthopedic surgery is used for partial and total knee replacements and total hip replacements at Mayo Clinic's campuses in Arizona, Florida and Rochester, MN.

Mar 6, 2023 · Robot scores better in length of stay and home discharge; manual scores better in flexion and operative time. Robotic arm-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) currently has some advantages over manual surgery, although either technique is effective.

Jun 12, 2024 · There are pros and cons to robotic-assisted joint replacement, which is most commonly used for total knee replacement. I use robotics when there’s extreme deformity above or below the knee, especially if there’s a prior fracture or growth disturbance.

Aug 14, 2023 · Robotic TKA is a technology that uses dynamic referencing to assess knee stability, alignment, and knee range of movement intraoperatively, enabling intraoperative adjustments of bone resection and positioning of the prosthesis.

Instead, robotic knee replacement is a procedure that uses a robotic technology to improve accuracy and precision during knee replacement. At TRIA, we currently use the ROSA® Knee System and VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution, which are robotic surgical assistants that can be used for knee replacements.

Robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty accurately restores the joint line and mechanical axis. A prospective randomised study. J Arthroplasty. 2014;29(12):2373–2377. doi: 10.1016/j.arth.2013.12.010.

In the operating room, your surgeon guides Mako’s robotic arm to remove arthritic bone and cartilage from the knee. Mako’s Accustop™ technology creates a virtual boundary that provides tactile resistance to help the surgeon stay within the boundaries defined in your surgical plan.

Jun 4, 2024 · During robotic knee replacement, the surgeon makes an incision over the knee to access the joint. The damaged cartilage and bone are then carefully removed. The robotic system, controlled by the surgeon, assists in precisely removing the damaged tissue and preparing the bone for the implant.

FRIDAY, May 10, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- Robot-assisted total knee replacements tend to have better outcomes on average, a new study reports. Unfortunately, there’s a downside – having a surgical robot assist a human surgeon can make the procedure much more costly.
