What is it?
Robotic knee replacement is a minimally invasive surgery that replaces a damaged knee joint using a robot-assisted, surgeon-controlled system.
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 cuts and implant placement with accuracy traditional surgery cannot match.
Symptoms — when do you need it?
