Total Knee Replacement Surgery

During our total knee replacement in Manhattan, Queens, Garden City, Brooklyn, or the Bronx, the damaged cartilage and bone in your knee are replaced with artificial components, usually made of metal and plastic. These implants are designed to replicate the function of a healthy knee, aiming to restore mobility and relieve pain. The success of a total knee replacement depends on various factors, including the accurate fitting and precise placement of the implant.

Who is a candidate for total knee replacement?

Candidates for total knee replacement generally include individuals with the following:

  • Chronic knee pain that impairs daily activities such as walking, climbing stairs, and sitting or standing for prolonged periods.
  • Moderate to severe knee pain while resting, which might affect sleep.
  • Knee inflammation and swelling that doesn’t improve with rest or medications.
  • Knee deformity, such as bowing in or out of the knee.
  • No significant relief from other treatments like anti-inflammatory medications, cortisone injections, or physical therapy.

What is the procedure?

The OMNIBotics procedure for total knee replacement is a cutting-edge approach that utilizes robotic assistance and computer technology to enhance surgical precision. During the procedure, your surgeon uses the OMNIBotics system to create a detailed 3D model of your knee, allowing for meticulous pre-surgical planning. This model helps our knee specialist determine the exact size, placement, and alignment of the knee implant.

In the operating room, the surgeon employs a robotic-assisted cutting guide, guided by the preoperative plan, to prepare the bone surfaces with unparalleled accuracy. This technology ensures that the bone cuts and implant positioning are customized to match your knee’s anatomy. The result is a custom-fit implant with optimal alignment intended to improve the functionality, mobility, and longevity of your new knee. The entire process focuses on achieving a knee replacement that feels more natural and is designed to last longer.

What is the recovery time?

Recovery following your total knee replacement in Manhattan using OMNIBotics technology tends to be quicker and smoother compared to traditional knee replacement methods. The precision of robotic-assisted surgery often results in less tissue trauma, which can lead to reduced postoperative pain and faster healing. You will be encouraged to walk after the surgery is completed, and the joint will improve dramatically in the following weeks. While recovery times can vary, many patients experience significant progress within the first six weeks and may return to most normal activities. Complete recovery and full return to more strenuous activities typically take place within 3 to 6 months. The specific recovery timeline depends on individual factors such as overall health, age, and commitment to postoperative rehabilitation exercises.”
