If you have painful arthritis in your knee which is no longer responding to conservative treatment, total knee replacement may be the preferred procedure to get you back in action.
The surgeons at Renovation Ortho are experts in total knee replacement using MAKOplasty robotic assist. Prior to your surgery, a CT scan of the knee will be performed which allows the generation of a precise computer image. During surgery, anatomic landmarks on your knee will be correlated with this computer image, which your surgeon (Dr. Galat) will then use to plan the perfect size and position of the implants, tailored to fit your unique anatomy, so the the knee is ideally balanced throughout range of motion. The robotic arm then “assists” Dr. Galat in precisely preparing the bone surfaces onto which the implants are fixed. The goal of robotic-assisted total knee replacement is to get it right, every time, to give you the best possible chance for a perfect outcome. If you have painful arthritis in your knee, call for a private consultation to see if robotic assisted total knee replacement may be right for you.
