Experience the Difference: Robotic Knee Replacement at Eva Hospital
If arthritis or other lasting knee pain interferes with an active lifestyle, robotic knee replacement may be the cutting-edge treatment. Robotic knee surgery at Eva Hospital focuses on transtechnic replacements of the human knee joint in patients with severe knee arthritis, trauma or degenerative joints diseases. We are pleased to settle for only the most qualified robotic knee replacement surgeons for they are dedicated in offering the finest results combined with top-of-the-line technology that is designed to enhance patient satisfaction and a quicker rehabilitation process.
What is robotic knee replacement surgery?
Robotic knee replacement is a method of performing a total knee replacement through robotics technology which can perform a highly accurate robotic total knee replacement. In contrast to conventional approaches or open surgery the surgeon gets a 3D-image of the knee in order to develop a very detailed plan about the upcoming procedures. Robotic knee surgery makes it possible to place the implant accurately and is likely to improve the actual function of the knee joint. Such advances can go a long way to improve the level of recovery and conversely; minimize complications; and consequently prolong the durability of the knee implant.
This is possible through the robotic full knee replacement done to patients with severe joint damage at Eva Hospital. The use of robotics in performing surgeries is a safer and better approach to surgeries that can be done by our surgeons after analyzing each patient’s body structure.
Signs You May Need Robotic Knee Replacement
Recognizing the signs that indicate the need for robotic knee replacement surgery can help make timely treatment decisions. Common symptoms include:
- Persistent Knee Pain: Severe pain that doesn’t improve with medication or physical therapy and interferes with daily activities.
- Reduced Mobility: Difficulty bending or straightening the knee, limiting walking, climbing stairs, and other activities.
- Swelling and Stiffness: Chronic inflammation and stiffness in the knee that doesn’t go away with rest or non-surgical treatments.
- Pain at Rest: Aching or sharp pain in the knee joint, even during rest or at night.
- Joint Deformity: Noticeable knee alignment changes, such as bowing or a knock-knee appearance, indicate advanced joint damage.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, consulting with robotic knee replacement surgeons at Eva Hospital can help determine if robotic total knee arthroplasty is the right option.
Factors Leading to the Need for Robotic Knee Replacement
Various conditions can damage knee joints, making robotic total knee replacement a necessary intervention. The most common causes include:
- Osteoarthritis: The primary cause of knee replacement surgery, osteoarthritis results from the natural wear-and-tear of cartilage over time, leading to pain, stiffness, and swelling.
- Rheumatoid Arthritis: This autoimmune condition causes the immune system to attack the knee joint lining, leading to chronic inflammation and pain.
- Injuries or Trauma: Serious injuries, such as fractures, ligament tears, or damage from accidents, can contribute to the degeneration of the knee joint.
- Obesity: Excess body weight strains the knee, accelerating cartilage wear and joint damage.
- Genetics: A family history of arthritis or joint problems can increase susceptibility to knee issues.
By understanding the cause of knee damage, our robotic knee replacement surgeons can create a personalized treatment plan to improve each patient’s quality of life.
Potential Complications of Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery
Although robotic total knee surgery is generally safer and more precise than traditional knee replacement, some potential risks are still involved. Common risks include:
- Infection: Any surgery carries a small risk of infection, which can occur at the surgical site or in the joint.
- Blood Clots: Post-operative blood clots in the legs or lungs are possible, although they are rare.
- Nerve Damage: There’s a slight risk of nerve injury, which may result in temporary or, rarely, permanent numbness or weakness around the knee.
- Implant Complications: Implants can wear out, loosen, or shift over time, potentially necessitating revision surgery.
- Allergic Reactions: Although rare, some patients may experience an allergic reaction to the implant materials used in robotic knee replacement.
Eva Hospital’s robotic surgery for total knee replacement is designed to minimize these risks by maximizing surgical precision. Our experienced team follows stringent protocols and uses state-of-the-art technology to reduce complications and promote safe recovery.
Tips for Reducing the Risk of Knee Issues
Taking proactive steps to care for your knee health can help prevent or delay the need for robotic knee replacement in the future. Here are some preventive measures to consider:
- Maintain a Healthy Weight: Reducing excess body weight alleviates stress on the knee, slowing down cartilage wear and tear.
- Engage in Regular Exercise: Strengthening the muscles around the knee through low-impact activities such as swimming or cycling can provide joint support and stability.
- Avoid High-Impact Activities: Reducing activities like running or jumping can minimize strain on the knee joint and lower the risk of injury.
- Stay Flexible: Regular stretching improves flexibility and helps maintain a healthy range of motion in the knee.
- Routine Check-Ups: Regular orthopedic check-ups can detect knee issues early, allowing for preventive care before more invasive treatments become necessary.
Our specialists at Eva Hospital provide guidance on effective lifestyle changes to support joint health and delay the progression of joint issues.

Step-by-step explanation of the Robotic Knee Replacement procedure using the VELYS™ system
Throughout the procedure, the VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution provides the surgeon with enhanced visualisation, precision, and control, leading to potentially better outcomes and a more customised fit of the knee implant
Preoperative Planning
Radiographic studies depicting the knee of the particular patient are made prior to the operation. This enables the surgeon to design the operation special for a particular individual, given their morphology.
Setup & Calibration
The VELYS™ system is established in the operating room. It also means that the typical equipment like the robotic arm are adjusted for the given procedure to be as exact as possible.
Exposure of the Knee
Then the surgeon will make an incision in other to reveal the knee joint. This gives an opportunity to get to the part of the aircraft that will be replaced.
Data Collection
Using the VELYS™ system, the surgeon collects real-time data about the patient’s knee. This data includes information about the bone structure, ligament balance, and overall joint alignment.
Customised Resection
Based on the collected data, the surgeon uses the robotic-assisted technology to perform precise bone cuts. The VELYS™ system aids in executing these cuts with high accuracy, respecting the patient’s natural anatomy.
Implant Selection & Placement
The system helps in selecting the appropriate implant size and position. The surgeon then places the knee implant, ensuring it fits perfectly as per the preoperative plan and intraoperative measurements.
Assessment and Adjustment
After placing the implant, the surgeon uses the system to assess the knee’s movement and make any necessary adjustments. This ensures the knee has the right balance and range of motion.
Closure of the incision
Once the implant is properly placed and tested, the surgeon closes the incision. This is done in layers to promote healing and reduce the risk of infection
Postoperative Care
After surgery, the patient receives specific instructions for care and rehabilitation. This often includes physical therapy to regain strength and mobility in the knee.
