Robotic Knee Surgery uses an advanced computer program that relays precise information about your knee to a robotic assisted device used by the surgeon during the procedure. By collecting specific information about your knee, the surgeon can remove the damaged surfaces of your knee and position the implant with great precision.

Knee Pain Makes A Big Difference In Your Life. So Can Robotics-Assisted Partial Knee Replacement
Dr. Michael Messieh, MD is now offering the latest techniques in robotic assisted partial knee replacements.
Partial knee replacement is a potential alternative to total knee replacement for patients with early to mid-stage osteoarthritis that is generally limited to one side of the knee. The procedure removes and replaces the damaged portion of the knee with an implant, sparing the cruciate ligaments that are vital to knee stability, and preserving healthy bone and cartilage. In contrast to total knee replacement, partial knee replacement offers patients less pain, a more normal feeling knee, smaller incisions and quicker rehabilitation. As an outpatient procedure, this will allow you to leave the surgical center the same day, with no overnight hospital stay. Partial knee replacements are performed from the SIDE approach.
Using traditional surgical methods, a surgical saw is used, removing the diseased bone and cartilage. This method has been considered technically challenging. Advanced surgical techniques using robotic assistance have been developed to provide a higher level of accuracy and precision. The robotic assistance through an advanced computer program that relays on precise information about your knee to a robotics-assisted hand-piece used by the surgeon during the procedure. Consult Dr. Michael Messieh for details to determine if a robotics assisted knee procedure is right for you.

NAVIO◊ Partial Knee Replacement SurgeryPartial knee replacement with the NAVIO Surgical SystemFor people suffering from knee pain caused by osteoarthritis, whose damage is limited to a single compartment or area of the knee, partial knee replacement may be an option because it preserves healthy bone and ligaments while replacing the damaged area.1, 2 The NAVIO Surgical System uses robotics-assisted technology to help tailor partial knee replacement procedures to the unique shape and motion of each patient's knee anatomy.
Robotics-assisted Planning for Better Surgical OutcomeWhile it may seem counterintuitive, replacing only part of a knee joint can be more challenging than replacing the entire joint. This is because partial knee replacement must achieve an exact balance between the new implant - made of metal and plastic components - and the remaining portions of your natural anatomy made of bone and cartilage. As a result, one of the primary challenges of all partial knee replacements is precisely positioning the implant for each unique patient. Even minor changes in an implant's size or placement can cause the knee to function poorly or result in early failure of the implant and the need for future surgery.
The NAVIO Surgical System addresses the challenge of partial knee replacement by using both computer and robotic assistance to accurately map the surface of your knee, align your implant to your anatomy, and physically remove the bone necessary to place your new implant.3 This added level of assistance is important because implant alignment is a crucial factor in determining how long the implant will last. 5, 6
Robotic Knee Surgery without RadiationOther robotic knee replacement systems use computerized tomography, or CT, scans to help a surgeon visualize a patient's knee anatomy. While CT scans are effective at showing the layers of knee anatomy, they can expose the patient to potentially harmful radiation. In fact, a single CT scan is equivalent to the radiation exposure received in 48 chest X-rays.4
The NAVIO system eliminates the need for CT scans by using an advanced computer program (similar to GPS navigation on your phone) to collect anatomic and alignment information about your knee. Once captured, this information is used to build a precise, computer-rendered 3D model of your knee that your surgeon will use to plan your surgery.
NAVIO Robotics-assisted Partial Knee Replacement SurgeryAfter all of the information about your knee is gathered and your surgical plan is created, your surgeon will use a robotics-assisted surgical tool (the NAVIO handpiece) to physically remove the damaged surface of your bone so that your new implant fits properly. Using the same 3D model of your knee, the handpiece is able to differentiate between the damaged areas that need to be removed, and the healthy areas that will remain. The NAVIO handpiece uses a burr that removes damaged bone for your implant.
The NAVIO system doesn't replace your surgeon. Rather, it assists your surgeon by adding an extra layer of planning to the procedure.
Partial Knee Replacement with Traditional TechniquesBy comparison, traditional surgical methods for partial knee replacement use mechanical cutting guides that help guide a saw blade as it removes the bone necessary to place the implant. The NAVIO Surgical System helps tailor your partial knee replacement procedure.
Important safety notesIndividual results of joint replacement vary. Implants are intended to relieve knee pain and improve function, but may not produce the same feel or function as your original knee. There are potential risks with knee replacement surgery such as loosening, wear and infection that may result in the need for additional surgery. Patients should not perform high impact activities such as running and jumping unless their surgeon tells them that the bone has healed and these activities are acceptable. Early device failure, breakage or loosening may occur if a surgeon's limitations on activity level are not followed.
DisclaimerIndividual results may vary. There are risks associated with any surgical procedure including NAVIO-enabled Knee Replacement. NAVIO is not for everyone. Children, pregnant women, patients who have mental or neuromuscular disorders that do not allow control of the knee joint, morbidly obese patients, or any other patients contraindicated for UKR, PFA, or TKA should not undergo a NAVIO procedure. Consult your physician for details to determine if NAVIO is right for you.
Every patient's case is unique
