Robotic knee replacement surgery for total knee replacement surgery leverages a technology that’s been around for a long time. Initially used for partial knee replacement surgery, the application became available for hip replacement surgery, and most recently is being used for total knee replacement surgery.

When you think about a knee replacement, there are kind of two parts to the surgery. There’s placing the implants in the right position and there’s also the management of soft tissues. “Soft tissues” means everything that makes up your joint besides bone (ligaments, tendons etc.). It’s important to get the soft tissues working as normally as possible. Most people with arthritis have soft tissues that are different, distorted, and deformed.

The most important part of performing a knee replacement is getting those soft tissues as close to normal as possible. The robot assistance (robotic-assisted arm) helps the surgeon be able to measure how tight or how loose those ligaments are. It helps get ligaments in a point where they’re as close to normal anatomy as possible. Having a sophisticated tool like a robotic arm offers great support in surgery to get things more correct and aligned.
