Robotic Knee Replacement, a Solution for Advanced Gonarthrosis

When knee osteoarthritis reaches an advanced stage, pain and reduced mobility can become so severe that conservative treatment methods no longer produce results. In these situations, joint replacement through prosthetic surgery can restore the function of the affected knee.

One modern solution in this regard is robotic knee replacement, which relies on a computerised system used both for planning the procedure and for assisting the surgeon during bone preparation and implant positioning. An important aspect is that the surgical plan can be adjusted according to each patient's anatomy, and the technology contributes to more precise control of bone resections and component alignment. It is essential to note that the robotic system does not act independently — all movements are carried out under the direct supervision and control of the surgeon.

For patients, this approach can bring greater precision during the operation, with careful implant positioning tailored to their own anatomy and better protection of the surrounding tissues. This accuracy can facilitate a faster recovery, a reduction in post-operative pain, and improved mobility — with the knee becoming more stable and closer to its natural function.
