The field of knee replacement surgery is undergoing significant changes due to the new developments that augmented reality (AR) is bringing us.
These patterns highlight how AR has the potential to revolutionize knee replacement surgery by improving surgical precision, productivity, and patient outcomes.
Knee joint damage can cause discomfort and hinder daily activities. When other treatment options have been exhausted, a Knee Replacement Surgery may be necessary. There are different types of knee replacement surgeries available, including Partial Knee Replacement, also known as Unicondylar Knee Replacement (UNI KNEE), and Total Knee Replacement (TKR).
During a UNI KNEE procedure, the damaged surface of the bone is removed, and an artificial implant is inserted into the affected portion of the knee. This procedure can reduce pain and restore normal function to the knee. Recovery time is usually quicker than with a total knee replacement.
A TKR is a common surgical option for arthritic knees. During this procedure, the damaged cartilage of the bones is removed and replaced with an artificial implant. TKR has been shown to be a highly effective operation for arthritic knee pain. After surgery, patients can gradually reduce pain and regain mobility, typically with a hospital stay of 5-7 days. Patient Specific Instruments Knee (PSI) and Computer Assisted Navigated Surgery (CANS) have advanced the field of Orthopaedics and helped surgeons plan and precisely execute knee replacement procedures.
Revision Knee Replacement Surgery may be necessary if the first surgery fails to provide the desired results. Knee implants typically last between 15-25 years, but younger, active patients may require revision surgery due to loosening caused by falls, fractures, or infection. Patients can rely on our experienced and highly skilled team of professionals for effective and long-lasting knee replacement solutions.
