Partial Knee Replacement

Partial Knee Replacement

Partial Knee Replacement Surgery, also known as unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to address specific compartments of the knee affected by arthritis or joint damage. Unlike total knee replacement, which involves replacing the entire knee joint, partial knee replacement targets only the damaged part of the knee.

This procedure is most commonly performed when arthritis is limited to one compartment of the knee, either the medial (inside), lateral (outside), or patellofemoral (under the kneecap) compartment. The goal of a partial knee replacement is to relieve pain, restore function, and preserve as much healthy joint tissue as possible.

During the surgery, the surgeon removes the damaged cartilage and bone from the affected compartment and replaces it with a prosthetic implant. The advantages of partial knee replacement include a smaller incision, less bone removal, quicker recovery time, and potentially more natural joint movement compared to a total knee replacement.

However, not all patients are suitable candidates for partial knee replacement, and the decision to undergo this procedure depends on factors such as the extent and location of arthritis, overall joint health, and the patient's lifestyle. It is essential for individuals considering Partial Knee Replacement Surgery to consult with their orthopedic surgeon to determine the most appropriate treatment plan based on their specific condition.

Primary & Revision Total Knee Replacement

Primary & Revision Total Knee Replacement

Total knee replacement (TKR) is a surgical procedure in which a damaged or arthritic knee joint is replaced with an artificial joint, known as a prosthesis. This procedure is commonly performed to alleviate pain, improve joint function, and enhance the overall quality of life for individuals with severe knee arthritis or joint damage.

Primary Total Knee Replacement (TKR)

Primary TKR is the initial surgical intervention to replace a knee joint that has been significantly affected by conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or other degenerative joint diseases. During the procedure, the surgeon removes damaged cartilage and bone from the knee joint and replaces it with a prosthetic implant. The implants typically consist of metal and plastic components designed to mimic the natural movement of the knee.

Revision Total Knee Replacement

Revision TKR is a more complex procedure performed when a previously implanted artificial knee joint needs to be replaced or revised. This may be necessary due to various reasons, such as implant wear, loosening, infection, instability, or other complications arising from the initial knee replacement surgery. Revision surgeries are often more intricate and may involve addressing bone loss, using specialized implants, and carefully planning the surgery to achieve optimal results.

Both primary and revision TKR surgeries aim to relieve pain, restore joint function, and improve the patient's overall mobility and quality of life. While primary Total Knee Replacement is more common, revision TKR is reserved for cases where there are issues with the original implant. It's important for individuals undergoing either procedure to work closely with their healthcare team to ensure proper pre-operative preparation, understand the potential risks and benefits, and actively participate in post-operative rehabilitation for a successful recovery.

Robotic Joint Replacement Surgery

Robotic Joint Replacement Surgery

Robotic joint replacement surgery represents a significant advancement in orthopedic medicine, combining sophisticated technology with surgical precision to enhance patient outcomes. This innovative approach is designed to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of joint replacement procedures, including hip, knee, and shoulder replacements.Robotic joint replacement surgery involves the use of robotic systems to assist orthopedic surgeons in performing joint replacement procedures. The robot provides enhanced precision, control, and visualization, allowing for more accurate alignment and positioning of the artificial joint components. This technology aims to reduce surgical complications, improve recovery times, and achieve better long-term outcomes for patients.

These systems use advanced imaging techniques (such as CT scans or MRI) to create detailed 3D models of the patient’s joint. Surgeons use these models to plan the procedure with high precision, determining the optimal placement and alignment of the prosthetic components.During the actual surgery, the robotic system assists the surgeon in real-time. The robot is controlled by the surgeon through a console or direct manipulation, and it helps guide surgical instruments with precision, adhering to the preoperative plan.

The robotic system provides highly accurate alignment and placement of prosthetic components, which can lead to improved joint function and longevity of the implants.Robotic-assisted techniques often allow for smaller incisions and less tissue disruption, which can contribute to reduced postoperative pain and faster recovery.

While robotic joint replacement surgery offers many advantages, it also carries potential risks, including infection, blood clots, implant issues, or complications related to anesthesia. These risks are similar to those associated with traditional joint replacement surgery.After the surgery, the patient will be monitored for any immediate issues and will begin a tailored physical therapy program to promote joint mobility and strength.

Revision Joint Replacement

Revision Joint Replacement

Revision joint replacement surgery is a specialized procedure designed to address complications or failures associated with a previously implanted joint prosthesis. This type of surgery is typically performed when an initial joint replacement, such as a hip, knee, or shoulder prosthesis, experiences issues that cannot be managed with conservative treatments. The goal of revision surgery is to restore joint function, alleviate pain, and improve the patient’s quality of life.

Over time, the prosthetic components may become loose due to wear and tear or inadequate fixation. This can lead to pain, instability, and decreased function of the joint.Postoperative infections can occur, leading to inflammation, pain, and potential damage to the surrounding tissues. If an infection does not respond to antibiotics or other treatments, revision surgery may be necessary.

The surgeon makes an incision over the previous surgical site to access the existing prosthesis. Depending on the complexity of the revision, additional incisions or techniques may be required.The old prosthetic components are carefully removed. This may involve addressing any complications such as bone loss or infection that have developed around the original implant.The bone is prepared for the new prosthesis. This may involve cleaning the bone surface, managing any infection, or using bone grafts if there has been significant bone loss.
