Knee replacement surgery is the solution if the knee joint is too worn out to make everyday life difficult, if the patient's walking distance is severely restricted, and if other treatment modalities such as medication and injections are useless. Depending on the wear in the knee joint, full (total knee replacement) or half replacement surgery can be selected.
A computerized tomography is performed with a special method of the patient for whom robotic surgery is decided. This tomography is required for planning by a highly advanced computer program. With the help of this program,the most suitable prosthesis dimensions for the patient's knee are determined.
The determined prosthesis is placed on a virtual model to be most suitable for the patient's bone structure. The human eye cannot perform this placement using standard X-ray films like the program used by the robot. The operation plan is created in this way and uploaded to the robot. The surgeon performing the surgery uses the robot to ensure that the prosthesis is placed correctly , An experienced surgeon uses the system as needed and performs the planned surgery almost without error. The margin of error is limited to only 1 millimeter and 1 degree, practically this can be considered error-free.
