Robotic-Assisted Joint Replacement
If you experience severe joint pain in your hip or knee, have degenerative joint disease or are dealing with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee, robotic-arm assisted surgery can provide relief. It's based on your unique anatomy and uses robotic-arm assisted technology to offer many benefits, which may include smaller incisions, less scarring, less pain, shorter hospital stays and more rapid recovery. DeTar Healthcare System is pleased to offer this technology for knee replacements.
How Does Robotic-Assisted Joint Replacement Work?
If your surgeon determines that you are a candidate for the robotic-arm assisted procedure, you will have a CT scan performed prior to your surgery date. The CT scan is used to create a 3D model of your joint. The surgeon uses the robotic arm system software in conjunction with information from the model to plan your surgery based on your unique anatomy.
During surgery, the software provides real-time information to optimize implant positioning and alignment, and the robotic arm is used to prepare your socket and guide accurate placement of the implants. This can be difficult to achieve using traditional surgical techniques without the robotic arm system.
