로봇 무릎 교체
Robotic-assisted knee replacement uses computer-based planning and a robotic system to assist the surgeon during selected stages of the procedure. Depending on the system and surgical plan, this may support assessment of individual knee anatomy, planned bone preparation, implant positioning, alignment and balancing considerations.
중요 사항: The robotic syst em does not perform the operation independently. The surgeon remains in control and makes the clinical and surgical decisions. Robotic assistance is a tool—not a substitute for clinical judgement or an assurance of a particular outcome.
Potential considerations in robotic-assisted planning include:
Individual knee anatomy and alignment
Planned bone preparation and implant positioning
Soft-tissue balance and functional requirements
The patient’s condition, expectations and rehabilitation needs
When to Seek a Knee Replacement Assessment
Knee replacement may be considered when advanced arthritis causes persistent symptoms despite appropriate non-surgical treatment. A specialist assessment and suitable imaging help determine whether surgery is appropriate.
지속적인 무릎 통증
걷거나 계단을 오르는 데 어려움
Stiffness or progressive deformity
Reduced mobility or difficulty with daily activities
A significant effect on quality of life
A Patient-Centred Approach
Every patient has different symptoms, anatomy, expectations and functional goals. Dr Mishra believes that decisions about joint replacement should follow a thorough evaluation of the clinical condition, imaging, lifestyle, functional limitations and overall health. Where robotic-assisted surgery is appropriate, the technology is incorporated into a treatment plan tailored to the individual.

자주 묻는 질문
Q: When should I consider knee replacement?
Knee replacement may be considered when advanced arthritis causes persistent pain, stiffness or difficulty with walking and daily activities despite appropriate non-surgical treatment. The decision is made after a specialist assessment; an X-ray alone does not determine the need for surgery.
Q: Is knee replacement only for older people?
Age is one factor, but it is not the only one. The decision depends on the severity of joint damage, pain, functional limitation, general health and expected benefit. Suitability should be assessed individually.
Q: What is robotic knee replacement?
Robotic-assisted knee replacement uses computer-based planning and a robotic system to assist the surgeon during selected stages of the operation. The surgeon remains in control and makes all clinical and surgical decisions.
Q: Is robotic knee replacement better than conventional knee replacement?
Robotic assistance can support personalised planning and precise execution of the surgical plan. However, outcomes depend on several factors, including the patient’s condition, the surgical approach, the implant and rehabilitation. Robotic surgery is not necessary or suitable for every patient, and no technique can guarantee a particular result.
Q: Is robotic knee replacement completely performed by a robot?
No. The robot does not independently perform the operation. The orthopaedic surgeon plans and performs the surgery, using the system as an assistive tool where appropriate.
Q: How long does a knee replacement last?
Modern knee replacements can function for many years, but longevity varies with factors such as activity level, body weight, implant-related factors, surgical factors and overall health. Regular follow-up and following medical advice are important.
Q: How soon can I walk after knee replacement?
Many patients are encouraged to stand and walk with assistance soon after surgery, often on the day of surgery or the following day, if their condition allows. The timing and amount of walking depend on medical fitness, pain control and the treating team’s protocol.
질문: 회복하는 데 얼마나 걸리나요?
Recovery is gradual and varies from person to person. Many patients resume basic daily activities over the first several weeks, while strength, confidence and functional improvement may continue for months. Physiotherapy and a personalised rehabilitation plan are important.
Q: Will I need physiotherapy after knee replacement?
Yes, rehabilitation is an important part of recovery for most patients. Exercises help restore movement, strength, balance and walking ability. Your surgeon and physiotherapist will guide the exercises and progression appropriate for you.
Q: Can both knees be replaced at the same time?
Simultaneous bilateral knee replacement may be an option for selected patients, but it is not suitable for everyone. A careful assessment of general health, cardiac and respiratory risk, anaesthetic fitness and rehabilitation support is essential before deciding.
Q: What tests are needed before knee replacement?
Assessment commonly includes a clinical examination, knee X-rays and pre-operative investigations based on the patient’s age, medical history and fitness for surgery. Additional tests or specialist clearance may be required when indicated.
Q: How can I know whether robotic knee replacement is right for me?
A consultation can help assess the severity of arthritis, alignment, symptoms, medical fitness and treatment goals. Dr Deepankar Mishra can discuss suitable options, including whether robotic assistance is appropriate for your individual case.
