KNEE JOINT REPLACEMENT
Looking for the best Joint Replacement Surgeon in Pune? Contact Dr. Kunal R. Bansal… as with the launch of CUVIS Joint… The next generation for joint replacement surgery… He is the best to go for Joint Replacement Surgery in India.
In 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.
Standard knee replacement with CUVIS Joint typically comprises of :
- In-clinic Diagnosis
- Pre-surgery Planning (Virtual Simulation)
- Discharge from Hospital
- CT-Scan
- Autonomous Surgical Procedure
CUVIS Joint robot for knee replacement is based on 4 core values of simplicity, accuracy, flexibility and safety.
Simplicity
- 3D bone model generation with fast and easy CT image data
- Reduced surgery preparation time with convenient user interface
Accuracy
- Precise pre-surgical planning executed every time
- Sub-millimeter dimensional accuracy
Flexibility
- Various cutting options
- Provision for intra-operative plan changing and gap balancing
Safety
- Real time system monitoring
- Emergency stop and force freeze with an option of manual guide of robot arm
Personalised
Pre-planning
Pre-selection of artificial joint and precise insertion of artificial joint
Precise cutting for sub-millimeter accuracy and optimum alignment
Reduction of side effect and reoperation
The procedure for a Total knee Replacement (TKR) has advanced greatly with the development of new materials and the increasing understanding of the knee joint biomechanics. An accurate alignment of the component and soft tissue balancing has been cited as the essential for the success of Total knee Joint Replacement (TKR).
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
KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY
There are limits on improving the alignment accuracy using a conventional total knee replacement. In 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.
It is like performing surgery on bone models before performing surgery on patient.This removes all errors which can occur with converntional knee replacment procedure. In surgery bone mapping done with help of sensors and cameras. These sensors and cameras also help in measuring soft tissue tension, this improving gap balancing. As implants are well balanced this leads to longer life of implants and greater movements are possible after total knee replacement.
ADVANTAGES OF KNEE REPLACEMENT
- Best post-surgery results
- Patient specific i.e. personalized pre-surgery planning
- Maximum surgical accuracy
- Minimally invasive nature - lesser blood loss and associated pain
- Faster recovery with lesser hospital stay required.
- Minimal incision is given.
- Surgical time is kept minimal.
- Pain control is done with local infiltration of drug at time of surgery.
- Minimal drugs are used.
- Patient can walk within few hours of surgery.
- Blood loss and stress on patient body is reduced.
AFTER SURGERY
You will be assisted to sit up about an hour after surgery. You will be encouraged to walk 3-4 hours after surgery. You will be assisted to stand and start walking with walker on same day of surgery. This is all possible with use of true balance technique and local infiltration of anaesthetic agent at time of surgery.
DAY 3 & 4 :
Knee bending exercises will be increased. During the day you will be walking 3-4 times with walker. Once you gain confidence you will be demonstrated how to walk up a staircase. You will be allowed to do the exercise by yourself. You will be allowed to sit on chair.
IMPORTANT ADVICE :
You must not keep pillow or towel under the operated knee, this is to prevent flexion deformity of knee. To prevent knee deformity put one or two pillows under the lower 1/3rd of leg so that knee hangs in mid air and there is no pressure over heel area.
