Robotic-Assisted Joint Replacement

Robotic surgery represents a quantum leap in joint replacement precision. Dr. Tarek Roshdy uses the latest robotic systems to achieve the best possible outcomes with exceptional accuracy.

What Is Robotic Joint Replacement?

Robotic joint replacement is an advanced surgical technique that uses a robotic system to assist the surgeon in:

  • Creating a 3D model of the patient's joint before surgery for precise planning
  • Determining optimal angles for the prosthetic joint placement with millimeter precision
  • Guiding surgical instruments within pre-determined boundaries for maximum safety
  • Real-time monitoring during surgery to ensure perfect joint alignment

The robot does not perform the surgery independently — the surgeon controls the procedure entirely. The robot provides guidance and additional precision that exceeds human capability alone.

Quick Facts

  • Precision: Sub-millimeter accuracy
  • Applicable: Knee & hip replacement
  • Planning: 3D pre-surgical model
  • Recovery: Same or faster
  • Results: Better alignment
  • Joint Life: Potentially longer

How Robotic Surgery Works

1

CT Scan & 3D Modeling

A CT scan is taken before surgery to create an accurate 3D model of the patient's joint.

2

Pre-Surgical Planning

The surgeon uses the 3D model to plan the optimal prosthetic joint position, angles, and size.

3

Robotic-Guided Surgery

During surgery, the robot guides instruments within pre-determined boundaries with sub-millimeter precision.

4

Real-Time Verification

The robotic system verifies accuracy in real-time, ensuring optimal implant placement.

Advantages of Robotic Surgery

Exceptional Precision

Accuracy within fractions of a millimeter in determining angles and joint position.

Longer Joint Lifespan

Higher precision leads to better weight distribution and potentially longer prosthetic life.

Maximum Safety

The robot prevents any deviation beyond safe boundaries, protecting surrounding tissues.

Greater Patient Satisfaction

Studies show higher patient satisfaction rates compared to traditional surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the robot perform the surgery?

No, the surgeon controls every step of the operation. The robot provides guidance and additional precision to help the surgeon achieve optimal results.

Is robotic surgery suitable for everyone?

Most candidates for joint replacement are also candidates for robotic surgery. The doctor determines the appropriate technique after comprehensive evaluation.

Does robotic surgery cost more?

There may be a slight additional cost due to the advanced technology, but the long-term benefits in precision, joint longevity, and better outcomes make it a worthwhile investment.

Is recovery after robotic surgery faster?

Recovery is similar or may be slightly faster due to the precision of the procedure and preservation of healthy tissues.
