Uni-Compartmental Arthroplasty

During RA-UKA, advanced robotic technology is used to assist the surgeon in precisely planning and executing the procedure. Before surgery, a CT scan of the patient’s knee is used to create a 3D model, allowing the surgeon to customize the implant and create a virtual surgical plan.

During the procedure, the robotic system provides real-time feedback to the surgeon, assisting in precise bone preparation and implant placement. This level of accuracy helps optimize implant fit and alignment, leading to improved outcomes and long-term success.

• Precision: The robotic system allows for precise planning and execution of the surgical procedure, resulting in optimal implant alignment and fit.
• Minimally Invasive: RA-UKA preserves healthy tissue and ligaments, leading to smaller incisions, less tissue disruption, and faster recovery compared to traditional knee replacement surgery.
• Customization: Each implant is customized based on the patient’s unique anatomy, resulting in a more natural feeling knee and improved function.
• Reduced Complications: The accuracy of robotic-assisted surgery may reduce the risk of complications such as implant misalignment, instability, and premature wear.

Candidates for RA-UKA typically have:

• Isolated arthritis in one compartment of the knee joint (medial or lateral)
• Intact ligaments and healthy cartilage in the unaffected compartments of the knee
• Good overall health and a commitment to post-operative rehabilitation.
