00:00My name is Bilal Barkhutali. I'm a consultant specialist knee surgeon here at The Alexandra

00:04in Manchester. The time to be considered for a knee replacement is when the joint becomes

00:10very degenerate and dysfunctional, usually secondary to severe osteoarthritis of the

00:15knee. A knee replacement works by trying to mimic the human knee joint. The human knee

00:22is removed during surgery and a metallic prosthetic knee is used to replace it. Traditionally,

00:29the knee is assessed using x-rays and a decision is made to proceed to surgery and during the

00:34operation, physical measurements are taken to decide how much of the knee should be removed

00:41and from where and what angles and rotational alignment of the knee replacement should take

00:47place. Using robotics, we use a CT scan which gives multiple times the number of images,

00:54a much higher degree of accuracy when deciding how much bone to resect and a much more accurate

00:59placement of the implant when the prosthesis is implanted into the body. So the main advantages

01:05for patients using robotic knee surgery is that it's done through a smaller incision. It's more

01:10accurate, there's less trauma and damage to the patient's own tissues resulting in less bleeding,

01:15less pain, quicker recovery and therefore less time spent in hospital and early discharge to home.

01:22The recovery after the operation is shorter than a manual knee replacement and usually the patient is

01:27only in for one night after the surgery and sometimes can be discharged on the same day and usually the

01:33time to recovery to full activity is around six weeks. If you have any more questions about this
