During joint replacement procedures, a surgeon cuts away damaged bone and cartilage and replaces it with artificial components made of metal alloys, high-grade plastics and polymers. Knee replacement. A total knee replacement involves the entire joint. But if only one section of the knee has been damaged, surgeons can replace just the damaged portion of the knee joint. This is called a partial knee replacement. Total hip replacement. The hip is a ball-and-socket joint, and both sections of the joint are removed and replaced in a total hip replacement procedure. There are several different varieties of robotic assistance used for orthopedic surgery. At Dr. Manoj Kumar Gudluru, a computerized tomography (CT) scan before the surgery is used to plan exactly how much bone should be removed and to aid in maximizing the accuracy of the alignment and placement of the implant. During the surgery, the robotic arm ensures that this plan is followed exactly so that just enough but not too much bone is removed.
