Knee-pain can hamper not only your daily routines but also your peace of mind. Persistent pain, swelling, stiffness, and deteriorating joint interfere with every aspect of life. Sometimes the pain can be relieved with medication and physiotherapy but as the knee joint continues to deteriorate, it leaves joint replacement surgery as the only solution.
Over the period of time, Knee replacement surgeries have been revolutionized quite a lot and with the arrival of all new CUVIS Joint Replacement FULLY ACTIVE ROBOT, the outcomes of knee replacement surgeries are expected to get better drastically. The robot assists surgeons during knee replacement surgery and is emerging out as a boon for both surgeons and patients. Earlier surgeons had only a fair idea about the situation but now with 3D analysis, they are able to customize surgery for every patient because it gives them exact details of the damage.
Robots have been part of surgeries before but they were passive in nature, it did not improve the surgical experience. CUVIS is a fully active robot, its main console assists in real-time monitoring and the robotic arm makes perfect incisions as they are based on the already stored data.
Robotic assisted surgery is better than conventional surgery because it is pre-planned and the scope of human errors is almost nil.
Who is a Good Candidate for robotic surgery?
If you have been given a green signal for traditional knee replacement surgery, you will not face any difficulty with robotic surgery. Any candidate who is suitable for conventional surgery is automatically suitable for robotic knee replacement surgery.
Less pain Faster Recovery
Smaller wounds heal faster and cause less pain. CUVIS Joint Replacement System is minimally invasive due to which it eliminates the risks like blood loss, infection, blood clots, the opening of stitches, and unbearable pain due to cuts. When major risks have been eliminated it results in significantly shorter recovery periods. Patients are able to take their initial baby steps within a few hours of the surgery.
Recovery Process
Surgical procedure plays a trailer-like part in recovery as it majorly depends upon the condition of the patients. Undoubtedly, recovery after robotic surgery is faster recovery but a patient still needs to take precautions that help in avoiding excess stress on the new knee.
Tips To Relieve Pain
Take physiotherapy sessions - These sessions will help you with the systematic movement of your joint without worsening the situation.
Use an Ice pack to reduce inflammation and swelling of the joint. Using 2-3 times a day during the first few days is recommended.
Keep your leg straight or in the position that is recommended by the doctor. To relax your joint even more, place a pillow underneath.
How to take care of someone else
If you are looking after someone who has undergone knee replacement surgery make sure they never stand or sit without support. Provide them with your shoulder or hold them tightly so that less stress is placed over the joint. With strong support, the chances of sudden jerks can also be reduced.
