Understanding total knee replacement
Total knee replacement is a minimally invasive robotic-assisted surgery that replaces a worn-out knee joint with a long-lasting implant.
A pre-op CT scan creates a 3D model of your knee. The surgeon designs a personalised implant plan, and the robotic arm executes the bone cuts and implant placement with accuracy that traditional surgery cannot match — preserving healthy bone and ligaments.
