What is Computer Assisted Knee Replacement?
A computer is utilized to achieve the desired accuracy during a knee replacement surgery.

How does Computer Assisted Knee Replacement work?
The crucial part of the knee replacement surgery is the proper positioning of the components of the new joint. The surgeon is assisted by the computer to position the components of the new joint accurately, thereby bringing this type of surgery the name “computer-assisted surgery”.

Similar to an autopilot which assists the pilots or a GPRS that aids the driver to reach their destination easily and safely, computer helps the surgeon to achieve the desired accuracy during knee replacement

The surgeon attaches special reflectors to patient’s thigh and leg bones that are detected by an infrared camera connected to the computer. The computer subsequently constructs an electronic model of the knee based on the information fed by the surgeon. The computer can then guide the surgeon in achieving proper positioning of the implants.

Is proper positioning of implants crucial?
The ensuring of the proper positioning of the components of the new knee is crucial because an incorrectly positioned component can lead to early wear and tear and also loosening (failure) of the joint. So, by using the computer, surgeon positions the new joint accurately, in turn, helps the new knee to get a better function and also ensure longevity.
