Treatments and Procedures
If your knee joint becomes significantly damaged or the pain is severe, your
orthopaedics specialist
may suggest a total knee replacement. This robotic knee surgery procedure
involves removing the
damaged knee joint and replacing it with a prosthetic implant. The knee joint
consists of three
separate compartments: the medial, lateral, and patellofemoral. In some patients,
only one
compartment, typically the medial, is affected by osteoarthritis, leaving the
other compartments
intact. In a total knee replacement, the medial and lateral compartments are removed
and replaced
with an artificial joint, including the patellofemoral compartment, when
necessary.
During the robotic total knee replacement procedure, the orthopaedic surgeon
makes an incision in
the knee with the help of robotic arms and shifts the patella (kneecap) aside. Any
bone spurs, which
can develop in osteoarthritis, are removed if present. Then, the surgeon removes the
two menisci
between the femur and tibia, as well as the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and, in
some cases, the
posterior cruciate ligament (PCL).
Depending on the type of knee replacement, the PCL might be preserved. In the main
phase of the
procedure, the surgeon removes cartilage and some bone from the upper part of the
tibia and the
lower sections of the femur. The femoral sections removed are the two knobby
protrusions known
as the femoral condyles. Metal implants are then placed on the tibia and femur to
create new
surfaces for the joint. The femoral component's surface is shaped to replicate
the original femoral
condyles. If the kneecap is also damaged, its underside may be resurfaced with a
polyethene
implant.
Lastly, the surgeon repairs the tissue layers with dissolvable sutures and closes
the skin incision with
sutures or surgical staples. A bandage is applied around the knee, and the patient
is moved to
recovery.
