Who May Need Robotic Partial Knee Replacement Surgery?
Some knees wear out across the whole joint. Others show damage in one section while the remaining areas continue to function well. That difference is one reason robotic partial knee replacement surgery may be discussed for selected patients rather than a total knee replacement.
Every Knee Is Different
The decision depends on the condition of the joint, medical imaging and a clinical examination. A consultation helps determine which treatment options match the diagnosis.
Points discussed may include:
Joint condition
Imaging findings
Suitability for surgery
Expected recovery
Alternative treatment options
Operation is not the only solution for every person with knee pain. If robotic partial knee replacement surgery has been recommended, discuss your options with Mr Vishal Pai, orthopaedic knee surgeon in Melbourne.
