Computer Navigated Knee Replacement
What is the Computer Navigated Knee Replacement Surgery?
Computers and Technology have revolutionized many sectors including healthcare. One such technology is Computer Navigated Knee Replacement surgery. In this computer aided system, doctors are able to see 3D images of the Knee on the computer. The system is designed to help surgeons understand accurate details.
During knee replacement surgery, details like where to position the implant, where to cut, what the exact measurement is, etc are highly critical. The system helps surgeons, but the knee replacement is in total control of the Surgeon. The navigation system of the computer guides surgeons on various steps, pointing out errors to ensure accurate arthroplasty.
Surgery is conducted by surgeons like Dr. Biren Nadkarni, the skills cannot be replaced, and the computer system is used for assistance.
How does this Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery work?
In computer guided knee replacement, systems use navigation technology for tracking devices to provide a comprehensive understanding. When surgeons move the equipment within joints, the trackers calculate its moves and position. Using Wireless technology in equipment, the data is displayed on the computer. It outlines the blueprint of anatomy for surgeons with all the angles and lines.
Moreover, it will indicate whether the position is correct or not. When the correct position is found, the surgeon will replace it with artificial components that are developed to work like normal joints. In some Navigation assisted TKR, surgeons might use pins for the incision site of the joint. This might cause scarring in some situations. However, many technologies are emerging to reduce scarring and incision of joints.
