Pioneering Robotic Excellence In Knee Replacement
Experience the Difference: Robotic Knee Replacement at Eva Hospital
If chronic knee pain affects your ability to live an active life, robotic knee replacement may be the advanced solution you need. At Eva Hospital, we specialize in robotic knee replacement surgery, offering patients an exact, minimally invasive option for treating severe knee arthritis, trauma, or degenerative joint conditions. Our team of expert robotic knee replacement surgeons is committed to delivering exceptional outcomes, utilizing cutting-edge technology to ensure the best possible patient experience and faster recovery times.
What is Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery?
Robotic knee replacement involves using robotic-assisted technology to perform a highly accurate robotic total knee replacement. Unlike traditional surgery, this approach provides the surgeon with a 3D knee image, allowing for precise planning of the surgical steps. Robotic knee surgery ensures that implants are positioned with pinpoint accuracy, resulting in better alignment and improved knee joint function. This level of precision can greatly enhance recovery, reduce complications, and extend the lifespan of the knee implant.
Eva Hospital offers robotic full knee replacement to patients with significant joint damage. Combining our surgeons’ expertise with the precision of robotic assistance provides a safer and more effective surgical option tailored to each patient’s anatomy.

Symptoms
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.
Causes
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.
Risks
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.
Prevention
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
Before the surgery, detailed imaging of the patient’s knee is performed. This allows the surgeon to plan the procedure specifically tailored to the patient’s unique anatomy.
Setup & Calibration
In the operating room, the VELYS™ system is set up. The equipment, including the robotic arm, is calibrated for the specific procedure, ensuring accuracy.
Exposure of the Knee
The surgeon makes an incision to expose the knee joint. This provides access to the area where the replacement will occur.
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.
