Emineo Private Hospital has collected the most important questions about robot assisted knee prosthesis
Is it true that everyone in Hungary is making a robotic knee prosthesis? What is the difference between robotic -assisted knee prosthesis surgery and navigation robot surgery?
Many people also call the navigation robot robotism, but that’s not true. The main difference is that the ROSA robot used in Emineo also provides robot surgery and navigation, in many places the only machine that uses navigation is called, although there is a big difference between the two procedures. During surgery, the navigation device has a precision of 2 millimeters and the ROSA robot is 0.5 millimeters. Generally, in the case of knee prosthesis surgery, satisfaction with traditional surgical techniques and navigation is 80-82%, plus 10-15%higher with real robotism.

Does the Rosa Robot perform the knee prosthesis alone?
Not. The surgical procedure with the ROSA robot is similar to conventional knee prosthesis surgery but with a robot assistant. It is important to understand that the robot never performs surgery alone. This means that it does not move, it does not make decisions unless the surgeon asks for it. The surgeon is in the operating room and makes every decision during surgery. At the same time, the robot offers him opportunities using the many information he has learned during thousands of surgery.

Will the knee implant fit into my body?
The exact fit of the knee implant is important for general satisfaction following the knee prosthesis surgery, to regain faster recovery and the complete freedom of movement. ROSA technology has the opportunity to surgery for the surgeon to perform personalized surgery, taking into account the patient’s unique anatomy for the implant to optimally fit the bone.
How long will the prosthesis last?
The prostheses used for ROSA robotassistically surgery are world -renowned, high -tech orthopedic implants designed for decades of research and development. The prostheses are characterized by outstanding quality, precise design and long life.
The life span of prostheses depends on many factors, such as:
- From the accuracy of implantation – Rosa® robot surgery provides greater precision, which can reduce the premature wear of the prosthesis.
- From the type and material of the prosthesis – The Zimmer Biometric Persona prostheses are used by various materials that are more resistant to wear or cement -free prostheses that can overcome the bone over time, providing a longer life.
- From the patient’s lifestyle -Prostheses can usually last for 15-20 years, but excessive load, such as intense sports activities, can affect the extent of wear.
What are the risks of robot assisted knee surgery?
It is important that patients are always aware of the risks. Like any surgery, there are risks to robotic -assisted knee prosthesis surgery. It is worth considering the potential positive outcome and risks before surgery. In the case of surgery with robotics technology, incredible precision increases the proportion of satisfied patients. However, both during and after surgery, the potential complications should be considered whether or not robot assistance is used. These complications can be infection, blood clots, pneumonia, relaxation of implant, nerve damage, fracture, implant; Any of these may require additional surgery. For robotic system solutions, precision and smaller incision and then smaller wounds contribute to faster recovery.
What is the healing time after the ROSA robotassisted knee prosthesis surgery?
Hospital stay depends on the condition of the always ill, but it can be said that Emineo Patients usually spend 2 nights in private hospital. During this time, they learn the physiotherapy movements and exercises that they have to do at home several times every day to complete success. The recovery time is changing, but most people can drive a car in two weeks and can return to moderate activity in three to four weeks.
