Robotic total knee replacement (TKR) is an advanced form of knee replacement surgery where surgeons use robotic-assisted technology to perform the procedure with enhanced accuracy and precision. By creating a personalized 3D model of the patient’s knee, robotic guidance helps ensure better implant positioning, less tissue damage, reduced pain, and faster recovery compared to conventional knee replacement.
It is a knee replacement surgery performed with the assistance of robotic technology. The surgeon remains in control at all times but uses robotic guidance to make precise bone cuts and accurately place the knee implant.
Yes, in many cases. Benefits of robotic-assisted surgery include:
It is usually recommended for patients with:
Yes. Robotic TKR is safe and approved worldwide. The robotic system does not perform the surgery on its own — the surgeon is always in control, using robotic assistance for accuracy. Risks such as infection, blood clots, or stiffness are similar to conventional surgery but are reduced with precise robotic techniques.
With improved precision in placement, robotic knee implants may last 15–20 years or more, depending on patient activity levels and overall health.
If you are struggling with severe knee arthritis or chronic knee pain, the Orthopaedics & Robotic Surgery Team at Baby Memorial Hospital (BMH) offers advanced robotic total knee replacement for greater precision, faster recovery, and long-lasting results.
