First-of-its-Kind Consolidated Resource: This book is among the earliest comprehensive Indian publications that brings together in-depth clinical and technical perspectives on all currently used robotic systems in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), making it a one-stop reference for orthopedic surgeons at all levels.
Authored by an Expert Multidisciplinary Team: Contributions from over 20 leading orthopedic surgeons, including pioneers and early adopters of robotic technology in India. The team comprises clinicians from academic, private, and surgical backgrounds, offering a well-rounded perspective.
Covers the Evolution from Conventional to Robotic TKR: Begins with the rationale for robotics and challenges in conventional KR, making it accessible even to orthopedic surgeons new to the field of computer-assisted and robotic surgery.
Detailed Breakdown of Each Robotic System: Each of the leading robotic platforms-CUVIS,MISSO, MAKO, VELYS, CORI, and ROSA-is discussed in dedicated chapters, with focus on:
- System design and components
- Surgical workflow and steps
- Advantages, limitations, and clinical experiences
- Unique features and comparative insights
Simplified Understanding of Core Concepts: Chapters on alignment techniques, robot classification, and robotic components are crafted to demystify the engineering and functional aspects of robotic systems, catering even to nonengineering readers.
Evidence-based Discussion on Complications and Prevention: Real-world experience-backed insights into robot-specific complications, error minimization, and intraoperative risk management provide practical guidance for safe surgical practice.
Strong Focus on Outcomes and Advantages: Includes a comprehensive chapter on the advantages of robotic knee arthroplasty, referencing improved alignment accuracy, component positioning, soft-tissue preservation, and patient satisfaction.
Dedicated Chapter on Preoperative and Postoperative Rehabilitation: Guidance on rehabilitation protocols specific to robotic-assisted TKA, a commonly neglected area, with inputs from physiotherapists and or thopedic surgeons alike.
Involvement of the Next Generation: Unique contributions from young minds like Sachiti Sachin Kale and Siddhant Pramod Bhor, reflecting the vision of passing the torch and incorporating intergenerational learning in orthopedic robotics.
Extensively Referenced: The book ends with a well-curated bibliography and publications enabling readers to explore primary literature and recent studies for further research and academic engagement.
