FAQs

Have questions on Orthopaedic Care & Treatments

What is Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery?

Robotic knee replacement surgery involves using a robotic system to assist the surgeon in performing the procedure. The robot helps the surgeon achieve more precise alignment and placement of the knee prosthesis by using preoperative imaging and computer guidance.

Is robotic knee replacement surgery suitable for everyone?

Robotic knee replacement surgery is generally recommended for patients with knee arthritis, joint deformities, or severe knee pain that has not responded to conservative treatments like physical therapy or medications. However, not everyone is a candidate. Your doctor will assess factors like age, activity level, and overall health to determine if robotic surgery is appropriate for you.

Is Total Knee Replacement Surgery covered by insurance?

Most health insurance plans, including Medicare, typically cover TKR surgery if it is deemed medically necessary. Be sure to check with your insurance provider to confirm coverage specifics, including hospital stays, the surgery, and post-operative care.

Can I have a Total Knee Replacement if I have both knees affected?

Yes, some patients opt for bilateral knee replacement, meaning both knees are replaced at the same time or in two separate surgeries. This decision depends on your health, the severity of the damage to both knees, and your surgeon’s recommendation.

Can I get a knee replacement if I am overweight?

Being overweight can increase the risk of complications and put additional stress on the knee joint. However, many overweight individuals still qualify for TKR. If you are significantly overweight, your surgeon may advise weight loss before surgery to reduce risks and improve recovery outcomes.

What is Computer Navigation Joint Replacement Surgery?

Computer Navigation Joint Replacement Surgery is a technique that uses advanced computer systems and 3D imaging technology to assist orthopedic surgeons in performing joint replacement procedures (such as hip or knee replacement) with greater precision. The system helps guide the surgeon in real-time, providing detailed information about the joint’s alignment, position, and movement during surgery.

How does computer navigation work during joint replacement surgery?

The computer navigation system uses imaging technology (such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs) to create a digital model of the patient’s joint. During surgery, sensors placed on the bones communicate with the navigation system, allowing the surgeon to visualize and plan the optimal position of the joint prosthesis. This helps ensure precise alignment, reducing the risk of complications and improving the long-term success of the surgery.

What are the risks and complications of Total Hip Replacement Surgery?

As with any surgery, there are risks, including:

Infection at the surgical site
Blood clots (deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism)
Nerve or blood vessel damage near the hip
Dislocation of the prosthesis, especially in the first few months after surgery
Hip prosthesis failure (e.g., loosening, wear, or fracture of the implant)
Stiffness or limited range of motion after surgery
Complications from anesthesia

How long does it take to recover from Total Hip Replacement Surgery?

Hospital stay: Most patients stay in the hospital for 1-3 days after surgery.
Initial recovery: You’ll likely start walking with assistance on the first or second day after surgery, and physical therapy will begin soon after.
Full recovery: It can take anywhere from 6 months to a year to fully recover and regain strength, flexibility, and function in the hip joint.
Resuming normal activities: While you may be able to perform light activities within a few weeks, more strenuous activities, such as running or heavy lifting, may take several months to a year to resume.

How long does it take to see results from biological therapy?

The timeline for results varies depending on the condition being treated and the individual’s response to the therapy. Generally, patients may start noticing improvements in pain and function within 4-6 weeks after treatment. However, it can take several months for full benefits to become apparent, especially for cartilage regeneration or joint-related treatments.
