Conventional method of Knee Replacement: |
| Previously knee replacement was done by conventional jigs. |
| • |
Chance of human error more probable. |
| • |
Possibility of mal-alignment. |
| • |
Possibility of improper balancing. | |
|
With human eye balling the overall alignment of a knee replacement is usually 30- 40% within 3-5 degrees. So you can imagine the high number of people who are outside this range of 3-5 degrees. |

| What is Computer Assisted Knee Replacement? |
| In Computer-assisted Knee Replacement, the computer guides the surgeon in precisely planning the exact amount & angle of bone to be removed during surgery. | |
| Technical Parameters: |
| Computer-assisted Knee Replacement (CKR) with BrainLab-CiiVersion 1.1.2. (Made in USA) |
|
|
3D Tracking Device with Infra-red Camera for Real-time Data Collection during Surgery (Works like a Satellite Navigation System) |
|
|
Computer Monitor which assembles the digital points collected by the real time infra red camera |
|
|
Patient Specific Computerized Planing For every individual patient the computer specifically and accurately plans & selects the size and the placement of implants | | |
| Navigation during the surgery and verification: |
During the entire process of the surgery every single step is navigated, verified & rectified to the accuracy of 0.5mm. & 0.5degree
Perfect Result-Each time, Every time
Perfect Knee Replacement with 100% accuracy |
|
| |
| Advantages: |
|
Computer assisted surgery with 100% precision Assists with new techniques, such as smaller incisions (Minimally invasive surgery) Elimination of "Human Error" during surgery Perfect Alignment & balancing of knee joint (with accuracy of 0.5 mm & 0.5degree) Increased implant survival (25-30 years) Less chances of complications like blood loss, pulmonary embolism, etc. Shorter hospital stay Early rehabilitation & rapid recovery. | |
| Summary: |
|
This quotation well concludes the chapter of joint replacement surgery, “For all the happiness mankind can gain is not in pleasure but is in rest from pain” Pain relief is the essence of joint replacement surgery. In addition, it restores the normal function of the joint. The result is return to a better quality of life and independent living. In fact, it is possible to lead a life very close to normal afterwards. The success rate of joint replacement surgery is very high. | |
