Before robotic knee replacement surgery, you’ll get specialized scans that create a 3D image of your knee joint, bone structure, and surrounding tissues. This detailed picture helps your surgeon plan every step of your surgery. Cuts can be made with precision to the millimeter informing the right implant size and positioning.
At the beginning of a robot-assisted surgery, your surgeon will use tracking pins to help the robot confirm that it received correct size and positioning information from your scans. Then, the robotic arm positions itself while your surgeon uses the handheld tool to perform your knee replacement. The tool continues to guide the surgeon throughout the procedure with exacting instrument placement for the utmost surgical accuracy.
