What is robotic knee replacement surgery?

Robotic knee replacement surgery uses a robotic arm to help the surgeon make more precise cuts and adjustments to the bone. This can lead to a better fit and alignment of the implant, which can improve the patient’s range of motion and function after surgery. The robotic arm is guided by a computer program that is created based on the patient’s individual anatomy. This ensures that the cuts and adjustments are made accurately and consistently. The robotic arm can also be used to help the surgeon position the implant in the correct location.
