Robot-Assisted Joint Replacements

Cleveland Clinic orthopaedic surgeons at Medina Hospital specialize in robotic joint replacement surgery. When patients need a hip or knee replacement, the surgeons talk with their patients about the best surgical approach to relieve pain and restore function. The benefits of robotic surgery include:

• Less pain during recovery.

• Lower risk of infection.

• Reduced blood loss.

• Shorter hospital stays.

During robotic joint replacement surgery, surgeons use CT scans and 3D imaging to create a plan based on the unique anatomy of each patient. They use robotic instruments to place the implant for a precise fit.

Most patients spend one night in the hospital following surgery. Select patients who are healthy enough can go home the same day. Most hip replacement patients can resume regular activities within three to four weeks and most knee replacement patients are back to normal activity in five to seven weeks.
