Revision Knee Replacement Using Robotics
Chad Mitchell, MD, FAAOS
The computer navigation and robotic-assistance surgeries are great for an arthritic knee, but can it help someone who may be having a problem with their previous knee replacement and need to have it revised? The need for total knee replacement revision includes those components that are loose, unstable, or infected.
Is Artificial Intelligence (AI) used during a Robotic Knee Replacement?
Chad Mitchell, MD, FAAOS
Artificial intelligence (AI) has notoriously grabbed the headlines recently over concerns that it could result in unintended harm to humanity. Cyberattacks, autonomous weapons, misinformation campaigns, and loss of human autonomy are all valid concerns in a world of AI that can contradict our human or moral values.
Joint Replacement using Robots
Chad Mitchell, MD, FAAOS
Patients often ask me, “What does the robot do during my joint replacement?” And “Why is it used or needed?” These can be complex answers given the various robotic systems available, but in this article, I will try to simplify this complex subject and unlock the mystery of a robotic-assisted joint replacement.
Robotics in Orthopedic Surgery
“The robotic technology combined with the computer navigation has convinced me that the future of technology in surgery is now. Shoulder surgery, hip surgery, and knee surgery are benefitting now from these technologies. Sports Medicine procedures will benefit. I have also watched this technology transform surgery for my colleagues in general surgery, urology, and gynecology. It is my opinion that all areas of medicine will soon benefit from the emerging technology of computer and robotic enhanced care.”
