Tissue Sparing Robot UKA
None to slight bruising seen promoting early ambulation and improved patient comfort immediately postoperatively.
Reduced wound complications are seem associated with conventional MIS procedures where significant bruising and skin abrasion is apparent.
We have developed the worlds first semi autonomous robotic applications for this procedure and have excellent results. Our approach is tissue conserving thus allowing a relatively limited cutting of the quadriceps muscles and an earlier functional recovery. The patient usually remains in the hospital for one to two days and starts physical therapy on the first postoperative day.
There is a very high degree of patient satisfaction with robotic tissue sparing unicompartmental knee replacement. In fact, patients who have had a partial knee replacement on one side and a total knee replacement usually prefer the partial knee replacement. A number of medical reports have achieved an implant survival of greater than 95% at 10 years of follow-up, we believe that our new technology developed here at our very own research center will extend beyond published results conventionally.
UKA’s are more technically demanding then TKA. Therefore, Conventional UKA is apt to increasing outliers.
However, newly developed Tissue Sparing Robot UKA has promoted to increase the success rate.
The current technique is often performed with an incision of approximately 6 cm in length. The patella (knee-cap) does not need to be turned outward as is the case for total knee replacements.
