Knee Replacement Surgery – By Dr. Ankit Verma Knee replacement surgery is a life-changing procedure designed to relieve chronic knee pain, restore mobility, and improve overall quality of life. As an orthopedic surgeon specializing in **Robotic Joint Replacement**, I have seen firsthand how modern technology can revolutionize surgical outcomes for patients. Knee replacement involves replacing the damaged surfaces of the knee joint with artificial implants. This surgery is typically recommended for patients with severe osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or injury-related joint damage. For many, it provides lasting relief from pain and stiffness, allowing them to return to their daily activities without discomfort. ### **Types of Knee Replacement Surgery** - **Total Knee Replacement (TKR):** Involves replacing the entire knee joint. - **Partial Knee Replacement (PKR):** Only the damaged portion of the knee is replaced. - **Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement:** Uses robotic technology for greater precision, improved alignment, and faster recovery. ### **Why Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement?** Traditional knee replacement requires manual measurements and alignment, but robotic assistance enhances precision and accuracy. The robotic system creates a 3D model of the knee, helping plan the procedure in detail. It guides every step of the surgery, ensuring the perfect placement of the implant. This precision results in less pain, quicker recovery, and longer-lasting implants. ### **What to Expect from Surgery?** 1. **Pre-Surgical Consultation:** I assess the patient’s condition, review imaging (X-rays, MRIs), and plan a customized treatment. 2. **Surgery Day:** Robotic-assisted technology ensures a highly precise procedure with minimal tissue damage. 3. **Post-Surgery Care:** Patients start walking with support within a day or two. Physiotherapy is key to restoring strength and flexibility. ### **Benefits of Robotic Knee Replacement** - **High Precision:** Perfect alignment of the implant, reducing wear and tear over time. - **Minimally Invasive:** Smaller incisions mean less pain and faster recovery. - **Faster Recovery:** Most patients walk within 24-48 hours and resume daily activities sooner. - **Longer-Lasting Implants:** Precision placement increases the lifespan of the knee implant. ### **My Approach** Every patient’s knee is unique, and so is my approach. I aim to provide personalized, compassionate care from consultation to recovery. Using the latest technology and surgical methods, I ensure that each patient achieves the best possible outcome. My goal is to see my patients walk pain-free, confident, and active again. If you’re struggling with knee pain, I encourage you to seek guidance. Together, we can explore the best treatment options, whether it’s conservative care or surgery. At **Orthocare Hospital, Indore**, my team and I are committed to providing world-class orthopedic care with compassion, precision, and excellence. — **Dr. Ankit Verma** MS Orthopedics | Robotic Joint Replacement | Arthroscopy & Trauma Surgeon
