Unfortunately, PCL injuries are often overlooked, accounting for more than 20% of reported knee injuries. Recognizing the importance of this ligament is the first step towards a healthier knee.

In Robotic Total Knee Replacement procedure, a robot is used to take required surgical bone cuts and also to define soft tissue tension. Considering the superiority of this technology, one can surely expect the best post-surgical outcomes with robot i.e. CUVIS Joint as against manual way of surgery.

ROBOTIC KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY

There are limits on improving the alignment accuracy using a conventional total knee replacement. In robotic knee replacement joint axis and bone alignment is defined with help of CT Scan so no intramedullary rods are required. Patient specific 3D bone model is developed with help of CT Scan and bony cuts are taken on this 3D bone model to check accurate positioning of implants.

CONVENTIONAL KNEE REPLACEMENT

In traditinal knee replacement metal blocks and intramedullary rods are used for bone cutting and as measurment tools. Althought mechanical alignment guides have been designed to improve accuracy,there are several limitations to this and errors are possible
