Each patient is unique and can experience joint pain for different reasons. It is important to talk to your doctor about the reason for your knee pain so you can understand all of the treatment options available to you. Pain from arthritis and joint degeneration can be constant or come and go, occur with movement or after a period of rest, be located in one spot or many parts of the body. It is common for patients to try medication and other conservative treatments to treat their knee pain. But, if you haven’t experienced adequate relief with those treatment options, you may be a candidate for our OMNIBotics Total Knee Replacement, which may provide you with relief from your knee pain.
OMNIBotics Robotic-Arm Assisted Total Knee Replacement is a treatment option for adults living with mid to late-stage osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. OMNIBotics provides you with a personalized surgical plan based on your unique anatomy. First, a CT scan of the diseased knee joint is taken. This CT scan is uploaded into the OMNIBotics System software where a 3D model of your knee is created. This 3D model is used to pre-plan and assist your surgeon in performing your total knee replacement.
In the operating room, your surgeon will follow your personalized surgical plan while preparing the bone for the knee implant. The surgeon will then guide the robotic-arm to remove diseased bone and cartilage within the pre-defined area and the OMNIBotics System will help the surgeon stay within the planned boundaries that were defined when your personalized pre-operative plan was created.
It is important to understand that the surgery is performed by a highly trained orthopedic surgeon who guides the robotic-arm during the surgery to position the implant in the knee joint. The robotic-arm does not perform surgery, make decisions on its own, or move without the surgeon guiding the robotic-arm. The OMNIBotics System also allows your surgeon to make adjustments to your plan during surgery, as needed.
