They may think that dealing with chronic pain is now their new normal, but it does not have to be that way. Joint replacement surgeries are becoming much more crucial these days as older folk may have to deal with falls, fractures or related phenomena due to wear and tear or other degenerative conditions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h5><b>When is Knee replacement necessary?<\/b><\/h5><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, when does knee replacement surgery or joint replacement actually become necessary? It is when all other treatment modalities have failed to provide you with any measure of relief- when painkillers seem useless, physiotherapy is more painful, when alternative therapies help less than usual and when your normal quality of life takes a direct hit. In such cases, living with the significant amounts of pain, stiffness and forced immobility can feel more like a punishment, rather than some compensatory measure that will help you feel better in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surgery is hence the last option for you to explore- and there are different kinds too- open surgery or minimally invasive knee replacement surgery. Deciding which one is better depends on the severity of your joint degeneration, your general health and what your expected activity levels may be, after getting it done. Your doctor will help you decide, as minimally invasive surgery may not be apt for everyone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h5><b>How is Minimally invasive knee replacement better?<\/b><\/h5><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minimally invasive knee replacement is definitely better in a few aspects-<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The incisions are way smaller than traditional open joint surgeries- which means you will not scar as much.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Too much tissue won\u2019t be moved around, so trauma is also reduced- translating to lesser pain and better recovery.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your range of motion is preserved and will improve in a much shorter frame of time, when compared to traditional surgery.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><h5><b>What is Mako robotic knee replacement?<\/b><\/h5><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mako robotic arm assisted knee replacement surgery is the latest instrument to help orthopaedic surgeons perform joint replacement surgeries in a much more streamlined and precise fashion than before. A detailed CT scan of the patient taken before will help the doctor come up with a personalized surgical plan &#8211; so that better implant placement can be achieved. The Mako instrument was developed by Stryker, a world leader in production of orthopaedic implants and different related surgical systems.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this, a 3D model of the knee is constructed using CT scans, so that the right sized implant can be used. Then, during surgery, the surgeon uses the robotic arm to remove any infected or damaged bone and insert the implant. This process requires a lot of experience and extreme precision &#8211; which can make the joint feel more natural and usable after recovery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Robotic knee surgery is now a staple in many advanced hospitals, with SBJI being one such specialty hospital, located in Hyderabad. We provide cutting edge Stryker knee replacement now. Our surgeons have immense experience and have performed thousands of surgeries, which means they have the know-how to deal with all kinds of cases- however severe they may be. Call us or schedule an appointment &#8211; because your joints need to endure through life, but you don\u2019t need to endure pain always!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b96ae9 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6b96ae9\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b4965ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b4965ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.21.0 - 08-05-2024 *\/\n.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}<\/style><h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-238d75f elementor-widget elementor-widget-accordion\" data-id=\"238d75f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"accordion.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.21.0 - 08-05-2024 *\/\n.elementor-accordion{text-align:start}.elementor-accordion .elementor-accordion-item{border:1px solid #d5d8dc}.elementor-accordion .elementor-accordion-item+.elementor-accordion-item{border-top:none}.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-title{margin:0;padding:15px 20px;font-weight:700;line-height:1;cursor:pointer;outline:none}.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-title .elementor-accordion-icon{display:inline-block;width:1.5em}.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-title .elementor-accordion-icon svg{width:1em;height:1em}.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-title .elementor-accordion-icon.elementor-accordion-icon-right{float:right;text-align:right}.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-title .elementor-accordion-icon.elementor-accordion-icon-left{float:left;text-align:left}.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-title .elementor-accordion-icon .elementor-accordion-icon-closed{display:block}.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-title .elementor-accordion-icon .elementor-accordion-icon-opened,.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-title.elementor-active .elementor-accordion-icon-closed{display:none}.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-title.elementor-active .elementor-accordion-icon-opened{display:block}.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-content{display:none;padding:15px 20px;border-top:1px solid #d5d8dc}@media (max-width:767px){.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-title{padding:12px 15px}.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-title .elementor-accordion-icon{width:1.2em}.elementor-accordion .elementor-tab-content{padding:7px 15px}}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-accordion,.e-con>.elementor-widget-accordion{width:var(--container-widget-width);--flex-grow:var(--container-widget-flex-grow)}<\/style>\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-3721\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-3721\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">What is MAKO robotic-assisted knee replacement, and how is it different from traditional surgery?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-3721\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-3721\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MAKO is a <\/span><b>robotic-arm assisted surgical system<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> developed by <\/span><b>Stryker<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that allows for <\/span><b>greater precision<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in total or partial knee replacement.
