Knee replacement surgery is a common procedure for those suffering from severe knee pain and mobility issues. With advances in medical technology, patients now have the option to choose between traditional knee replacement and the more modern robotic knee replacement. But which one is better for you? At Brisbane Hip N Knee, led by Dr. Mahendra Meta, we specialize in both methods, offering expert guidance on what might be the best fit for your needs.
Traditional Knee Replacement
In traditional knee replacement, the surgeon manually aligns and positions the artificial joint using their experience and skill. While this method has been successfully used for decades, it relies heavily on the surgeon’s ability to make precise cuts and placements.
Key Benefits of Traditional Knee Replacement:
Proven Success
Traditional knee replacement has a long track record of success, with millions of patients experiencing relief from pain and improved mobility.
Widely Available
Most orthopaedic specialists in Brisbane are well-trained in traditional knee replacement, making it widely accessible.
Robotic Knee Replacement
Robotic knee replacement is a newer technique that uses advanced robotic systems to assist the surgeon during the procedure. The robot helps with pre-surgery planning and offers greater precision in implant placement.
Key Benefits of Robotic Knee Replacement:
Enhanced Precision
The robotic system allows for more accurate alignment and positioning, which can result in better long-term outcomes and less wear on the joint.
Customized Surgery
Robotic knee replacement offers a personalized approach, using 3D imaging to tailor the surgery to the patient’s unique anatomy.
Faster Recovery
Due to the accuracy of the procedure, many patients experience quicker recovery times and improved function compared to traditional methods.
Which Option is Right for You?
The choice between traditional and robotic knee replacement depends on your specific needs, health condition, and preferences. At Brisbane Hip N Knee, Dr. Mahendra Meta assesses each patient individually to recommend the best option, ensuring optimal results.
