- Robot-Guided Total Knee Replacement - ShorePoint Health Port Charlotte is the first hospital in southwest Florida to offer robotic-arm assisted total knee replacement as a surgical option. This latest advancement in joint replacement surgery transforms the way total knee replacements are performed.
Robotic-arm assisted total knee replacement is a treatment option designed to relieve the pain caused by joint degeneration due to osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Each patient is provided with a personalized surgical experience based on their specific diagnosis and anatomy. Through CT-based 3D modeling of bone anatomy, surgeons can use the system to create a personalized surgical plan and identify the implant size, orientation and alignment based on each patient’s unique anatomy. The system also enables surgeons to virtually modify the surgical plan intra-operatively and assists in executing bone resections.
Hip and knee replacements are the most commonly performed joint replacements, but at ShorePoint Health Port Charlotte and Punta Gorda, joint replacement surgery can be performed on other joints as well, including the ankle, wrist, shoulder and elbow. Our surgeons on the medical staff may use minimally invasive techniques, which often allow for smaller incisions and minimal disruption to surrounding tissue. For you, this may mean less pain and scarring, more flexibility and mobility immediately following surgery, and a smoother, faster recovery.
