Robot-Assisted Knee Replacement In La Grange

View Hide Transcript
♪ [music] ♪

- [Dr. Kenney] Orthopedic surgery technology
has continued to advance very rapidly,

particularly in areas of knee replacements,
and one of the newest technologies is robotic surgery.

In robotic surgery, the robot typically operates just
by moving an arm in space to be able to guide the

surgeon as to how the cut is made or how the
preparation is done during the procedure.

So the surgeon still has
to actually perform the procedure.

The surgeon still has to cut the bone manually.

These are tools that we utilize in order to be able to
help us navigate through the knee and make sure that we

have the knee straight and it's going to achieve
maximal function and motion for them.

- [Dr. Lindner] I think the benefit to the patient
is that it allows us to achieve a more consistent

and reliable result in the operating room
to hopefully allow the patient to have

the best outcome consistently
from surgery to surgery.

- Using a robot during surgery allows us to be less
invasive and cause less trauma to their knee itself.

And in doing so, they are
able to achieve their motion quicker.

They have less swelling and their physical therapy is a
much easier process for them to get back on their feet.

- The greatest thing is that we have been able to
acquire this technology here at Baptist La Grange,

and it's not something that every hospital has.

The patients are very surprised
to hear that we have this technology here.

They're excited about the technology
and excited about what it can do for them.
