Robotic Knee Replacement in Jaipur: How Does a Robot Perform Surgery?

Dr. Jitesh Jain is a renowned Robotic Knee Replacement surgeon based in Jaipur. He works as a consultant robotic joint replacement surgeon at RHL Rajasthan Hospital. Here, he explains how a robot assists in knee replacement surgery.

How Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement Works

Robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery is not performed by a robot alone. Instead, under the surgeon’s supervision, it acts as a guide, helping the surgeon follow a pre-planned surgical approach. It enhances precision by making bone cuts as fine as 1mm and achieving component rotations within a degree, which is not possible manually.

Robotic Knee Replacement at RHL Rajasthan Hospital

RHL Rajasthan Hospital is equipped with cutting-edge robotic tools that enable us to create an ideal surgical plan for patients. Our Misso robotic surgical system assists in both **partial knee replacement** and **total knee replacement** surgeries.

Before a Robotic Knee Replacement surgery, all patients undergo **CT scans** to generate a detailed **3D image** of the limb, including the knee joint. This image helps plan every step of the surgery. Our advanced computer software analyzes these CT scan images to develop a precise surgical strategy. With this data, the surgeon determines the exact **implant alignment, size, and positioning** before the procedure begins.

Robotic-Assisted Surgery: Precision & Safety

At the start of a robotic-assisted knee surgery, tracking pins with sensors are placed around the knee joint. These sensors allow the robotic system to confirm the correct implant size and positioning in real time. The robotic arm stops automatically if it detects any deviation, ensuring patient safety. However, the control of the robotic arm always remains in the hands of the surgeon.
