Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery Patient Testimonials | Penn Orthopaedics

Penn Orthopaedics offers multiple options for joint replacement surgery, including the latest robotic knee and hip replacement technologies. In this video, Dr. Travers, Director of the Penn Orthopaedics Robotics and Navigation Program, discusses what robotic joint replacement surgery is and how it differs from traditional joint replacement surgery, as well as the benefits of this procedure. We also hear from three patients who recount their personal experiences before and after robotic knee replacement surgery.

Just had my other knee done and the experience was better than the first one. 7 weeks out and I'm not even using a cane to walk. Thank you Penn Medicine and Dr. Travers

Robotic knee surgery and manual knee surgery both have their own advantages and considerations. It is important to consult with a qualified orthopedic surgeon to determine the most appropriate approach for your specific case. Here are some points to consider:
Robotic knee surgery:
1. Precision: Robotic-assisted surgery can offer improved precision and accuracy during the procedure. A robotic system can provide real-time feedback, assist the surgeon in achieving optimal alignment, and potentially lead to better outcomes.
2. Personalization: Robotic systems can create a personalized surgical plan based on the patient's anatomy, which may result in a more tailored approach.
3. Smaller incisions: Robotic surgery may involve smaller incisions, potentially leading to less scarring, reduced post-operative pain, and faster recovery.
4. Data-driven feedback: Robotic systems can provide the surgeon with data and visualizations, allowing for better decision-making during the surgery.
Manual knee surgery:
1. Experience-based judgment: Skilled orthopedic surgeons have years of experience and expertise in performing knee surgeries manually.
2. Adaptability: In certain complex cases, surgeons may need to make on-the-spot adjustments during surgery, which can be more easily achieved in a manual procedure.
3. Cost: Manual knee surgeries are generally less expensive than robotic surgeries, as the robotic technology adds an additional cost.
It's important to note that every individual's case is unique, and the choice between robotic knee surgery and manual knee surgery should be made in consultation with your doctor, considering factors such as your specific condition, surgical history, surgeon expertise, and available technology. Your surgeon will be able to discuss the pros and cons of each approach and suggest the best option for you.
