2024 Knee Replacement Tech - Is It Getting Any Better? #shorts

Thankfully, Robotics are some of the safest tools in the operating room - more info of Robotic-Assisted Joint Replacement in next Reel
.
Conventional total knee arthroplasty is one of the safest + cost-effective procedures performed in orthopedics (patient satisfaction 85-92%). TKA id a powerful method for pain relief + functional restoration in patients with advanced arthritis when non-operative options fail. As technology advances, surgeons try to improve patient outcomes and satisfaction. Robots are simply a tool surgeons can utilize to help minimize human error + maximize accuracy. The term ‘robot’ begins from the Czech word ‘robota,’ which means forced labor or activity. The first robot surgery ever was performed in 1988 to perform neurosurgical biopsies. Since then, the applicability of robotics in surgery has progressed remarkably. Besides the rapidly increasing needs for joint replacement, robotic #TotalKnee arthroplasty has increased in number considerably. Due to increasing average ages, populations encounter a much higher rate of osteoarthritis, so they need a greater amount of TKA.

The first surgical specialty to use robots was neurosurgery. In 1988, the first robotic surgery was recorded for performing neurosurgical biopsies. Followed by urosurgery, in 1991, for performing prostatic transurethral resection. Both specialties reported improved perfection and decreased the incidence of iatrogenic complications using robotic surgery. After that, the widespread use of robots in various surgical specialties with the advantages of smaller operative incisions, increased precision in soft tissue management, postoperative quicker recovery and return to work, and decreased length of hospital stay. In #orthopedics a robotic #KneeReplacement is designed to decrease the mistakes associated with bone cuts and prosthesis position and alignment. Robotic TKR has better surgical and clinical patient outcomes than conventional TKR.

Multiple studies have shown that outcomes are equal between robotic and non robotic procedures. Its just a lot more expensive for the patient.

I’m sorry but the pain is real! And not less

[mommatam]

would it be appropriate for me to ask my surgeon about using the non-cement knee replacement for me?

[kmopjbc]

I don't understand robotics for TKR. Is it robotic hands doing the work with the Dr off to the side working from a computer? Or does a robot do it on its own?

I've seen knee replacement surgery videos and the doctors look like carpenters. Even their motions aren't as fluid as some seasoned carpenters, but that's understandable.
I think I remember seeing a doctor use a slide hammer on a body that was moving too much.

Ortho surgeons are glorified carpenters
