Advances in Knee Replacement Surgery
Advances in Knee Replacement Surgery
Orthopaedic surgery is one of the most dynamic branches in medicine, especially in the field of knee replacement surgery. There are multiple innovative advances and technologies available to improve surgical techniques, accuracy and outcomes after surgery.
Advanced implant design and materials
Only the latest and most advanced implant design and materials are used for your knee replacement. With the latest in design and material innovation, the implants fit better, works better and lasts longer. The knee feels more natural after surgery and Yes, there is a difference between the male and female knee anatomy!
Computer aided surgery (CAS).
In computer aided surgery, the surgeon utilises a set of specialised sensors and computer to analyse anatomical alignment, morphology and instrument position. The system allows “real time” analysis throughout the surgery to allow the surgery plan to measured, verified and therefore precise. This from of surgery is highly accurate with the implants positioned and placed perfectly. This results in reduced pain after surgery, faster recovery and a superior outcome for the patient.
Robotic assisted surgery
The use of robots during surgery is a natural evolution from computer assisted surgery (see above). The benefit offered with robotic surgery is accurate and reproducible outcomes, reducing the risks of human error. The robotic system also allows for intra- operative assessment of ligament balance, bony cut precision and implant positioning. The robot does not replace the surgeon but improves the performance. Current research indicates that with robotic surgery, the surgical precision is significantly improved over conventional techniques. This in turn leads to vastly greater patient satisfaction and also implant longevity.
PSI- patient specific instrumentation.
This is a unique technology where pre- operative (before surgery) 3D images are obtained via a specialised MRI scan. The surgery will then design a personalised surgical plan for knee replacement surgery. Once the plan is confirmed, the personalised surgical instruments are constructed and shipped to the hospital. This is to allow highly accurate bone resection, component positioning and alignment during surgery.
