Who Is a Good Candidate for a Robotic Partial Knee Replacement?

Robotic-assisted partial knee replacement is a cutting-edge procedure designed to treat arthritis that is isolated to a specific area of the knee. Unlike a total knee replacement, this minimally invasive technique targets only the damaged cartilage, preserving healthy bone and tissue. At Robotic Hip and Knee Replacement LA, Dr. Kabaei uses advanced robotic technology to ensure precise and personalized treatment, helping patients regain pain-free movement and an active lifestyle.

What Is Robotic Partial Knee Replacement?

Robotic-assisted partial knee replacement uses computer-guided technology to enhance surgical precision. During the procedure:

• Dr. Kabaei builds a virtual model of the patient’s knee and creates a preoperative plan.
• A robotic arm assists the surgeon in removing only the damaged cartilage, sparing healthy bone and surrounding tissues.
• A custom implant made of titanium and polyethylene is secured in the knee joint, allowing for smooth, natural movement.

This approach offers several key benefits:

• Optimal implant positioning for a more natural-feeling knee
• Faster recovery and shorter hospital stays compared to traditional knee replacement
• Often performed on an outpatient basis
• Rapid pain relief and quicker return to daily activities

Robotic partial knee replacement is typically covered by Medicare and private health insurers. At our orthopedic center, we accept most PPO insurance and Medicare.

Best Candidates for Robotic Partial Knee Replacement

Robotic-assisted partial knee replacement may be an option for patients who have knee pain caused by arthritis in one specific area of the knee, such as the inner knee or under the kneecap. Dr. Kabaei carefully evaluates each patient’s case to determine if they are a suitable candidate. The ideal candidate typically meets the following criteria:

1. Isolated Knee Pain with Activity

Candidates often experience knee pain during physical activity, particularly on one side of the knee or beneath the kneecap. This discomfort may also present as stiffness when standing up from a sitting position.

2. Non-Surgical Treatments Are No Longer Effective

Many patients try conservative treatments before considering surgery, including physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and joint preservation techniques. If these options fail to provide relief, partial knee replacement may be the next step.

3. Healthy and Motivated for an Active Lifestyle

Candidates are typically healthy individuals who want to resume active lifestyles. This procedure is designed to restore mobility and allow patients to return to activities like walking, sports, and exercise.

Benefits of Robotic-Assisted Partial Knee Replacement

Patients who undergo robotic partial knee replacement often experience:

• Precision implant placement, leading to improved knee function and longevity
• Minimally invasive surgery with reduced recovery time
• Less pain and faster healing
• The ability to return home on the same day as the surgery

Most patients can return to normal activities within weeks, making this a highly attractive option for those seeking quick recovery and long-term pain relief.
