Knee
Knee Arthritis
End stage arthritis resulting from wear and tear & rheumatological conditions result in severe pain and disability. The knees are often deformed with restricted range of movements and inability to walk long distances.
Knee Replacement
Total knee replacement or Total knee arthroplasty is a successful procedure done in millions of patients worldwide. In this procedure the worn out surfaces of the bones are shaped and fitted with resilient surfaces (prostheses) to take over the function of the joint. This procedure restores the function and corrects the deformity.
TKR is indicated
- When you can’t walk for long
- When X-rays show advanced wear and tear
- Rest pain and night pain
- Difficulty in getting out of chair
- Knees are deformed and bowed in or out.
Navigated TKR
The success of TKR relies on the perfect restoration of alignment and balance. The longevity of the prosthesis relies on correction within 3 degrees. Navigated Knee replacement uses trackers placed on the bones to gather information about the knee joint. The computer analyses the data and displays key measurements in a graphical form to guide the positioning and balancing of implants in real time.
Robotic Assisted tkr
The Navio – Robotic platform adds more precision and accuracy to the procedure. During the procedure, the tracking data is used to generate a 3D representation of patient’s knee. This anatomical information helps in planning the correct size and position of the implants unique to your knee. The robotic arm helps in proper shaping of the bone to receive the implant.
