Robotic Partial Knee Replacement (Oxiplasty)

Robotic Partial Knee Replacement, also called Oxiplasty, is a less invasive option compared to Total Knee Replacement (TKR). In this procedure, only the damaged part of the knee joint is replaced, making it suitable for patients with limited or early-stage knee damage.

Unlike total knee replacement, where the entire joint is replaced, partial knee replacement helps preserve more of your natural knee. This usually leads to faster recovery, less pain, and a more natural knee movement after surgery.

At Duke Robotic Hospital, Dr. Bhupendra Patel, senior robotic joint replacement and Oxiplasty surgeon, performs the procedure using advanced robotic technology. Our hospital focuses on safe, accurate, and patient-friendly robotic knee replacement treatments to help you get back to daily activities with confidence.

Innovations in Knee Replacement at Duke Robotics Hospital

  • High Flex Prosthesis: aims to restore a near-normal range of knee movement, allowing patients to sit cross-legged comfortably within six months post-surgery.
  • Gender-Specific Prosthesis: Recognizing the anatomical differences between men and women, we use prostheses specifically designed for women, ensuring a better fit and improved outcomes for female patients.
  • Computer-Assisted Navigation: Utilizing advanced computer technology, we collect detailed data on the bone morphology and guide the surgeon with sub-millimeter accuracy during the procedure. This technology enhances the precision of the surgery, leading to better alignment and positioning of the knee implant.
  • Patient-Specific Instrumentation: We conduct a pre-operative MRI scan to gather patient-specific data, allowing us to customize the surgical instruments used during the procedure. This ensures that the surgery is performed with exceptional precision, tailored to the patient’s individual anatomy.
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS): These techniques involve making small incisions, which significantly reduce surgical trauma. These techniques lead to faster recovery times, less postoperative pain, and minimal scarring, allowing patients to return to their daily activities more quickly.
  • Oxinium Implants: We offer Oxinium implants for the young ones, making them from a special material designed to increase the lifespan of the prosthesis by reducing wear rates. Oxinium implants provide a durable and reliable solution for patients seeking long-term joint health.

Recovery time for knee replacement surgery

Recovery time varies, but most patients can resume normal activities within 6-12 weeks post-surgery. Physical therapy is crucial for a successful recovery.

With expert surgical care, Duke Robotic Hospital ensures you get the best possible outcome after Robotic Partial Knee Replacement (Oxiplasty). We focus on precision, safety, and long-term comfort for every patient.
