Knee Replacement Surgery to bring back your quality of life with free movements.

Elderly people who visit their line groups every morning do not do so only to read or send each other “Good morning” messages to greet each other. Many people use these groups to schedule appointments and invite each other to try out new activities, from eating together to meeting up or taking trips to see different places and engage in challenging activities. For people who suffer from osteoporosis, however, they have to turn down visits and activities because pain and inflammation are major obstacles to their living.
 
Causes and Factors of Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis, especially osteoporosis of the knee, can happen at any age, because it has many causes. For the most part, however, it is caused by deterioration of the knee joints due to age, and it is mostly found in people aged 50 years or more. As a result, many people think that it is an incurable degenerative disease and leave it untreated until it becomes chronic.
 
In addition to age, due to lifestyle changes of the people today, younger people are now increasingly being diagnosed with osteoporosis. This is possibly because of the use the knees too heavily, whether from various daily occupations or activities. In terms of sexes, women are also more likely to develop this condition than men due to influences from muscle strength and hormones contributing to degeneration of the bones and joints. However, it can also be found in:
 
1. People who are overweight, because their knees have to bear greater load than normal.
2. People who have chronic diseases related to joint inflammation and other genetic disorders.
3. People who experience unpredictable factors such as accidents on the knee joints, which can lead to premature inflammation and degeneration of the knee joints.
 
Pain from knee joint inflammation causes discomfort when performing daily activities. In some cases, the inflammation symptoms are so severe that the person experiences enormous suffering, making them not want to move their body and to instead prefer to remain still, which can cause other health problems.
 
Knee replacement surgery is not as scary as many people think.
Total knee replacement surgery is considered the best treatment option after the patient responds poorly to medication treatment and physical therapy. Surgical techniques and artificial joint materials have been developed to be increasingly effective.
 
Today, in particular, robotic knee replacement has been adopted as a way to help doctors perform surgery more conveniently and with better outcomes.
 
Benefits and Advantages of Robotic Knee Replacement 
By relying on data in the surgical robot that millions and millions of joint models from several countries have been complied, after inputting the patient’s information, a computer will generate 3D images of the patient’s knee on the screen. Then the surgeon will be able to rotate and view the image from every angle of the surgical site. After having a clear view of the full picture, the entire surgery will proceed smoothly and precisely.
 
At the same time, the robot will give warnings and control instruments from moving outside of the planned surgical site. In addition, because of the device’s effectiveness that allows for up to 0.5 millimeters of surgical precision, the surgeon can adjust and realign instruments by up to 0.5 degrees. This increases surgical precision and reduces complications from injuries while drastically reducing the surgical time. As a result, the patient also recovers more quickly.
 
Furthermore, the computer can produce results and measure the surgical outcome right away, so the surgeon can realign the knee joint more suitably for the patient, which will benefit the patient after the patient returns to normal living after the surgery.
 
Knee replacement surgery as a treatment for knee osteoporosis, in addition to enabling the patient to recover and be healthy as before, also allows the patient to be able to return to perform normal daily activities and live more happily. Some people say that it is almost as if the missing parts of their lives are fulfilled and that the treatment made them themselves again after undergoing knee replacement surgery.
 
After learning about this, would you like to go to your LINE group tomorrow and schedule an adventure with your friends? If you are impatient, how about making an appoint by phone tonight? Wouldn’t that be better? What do you think?
