Dr Pearle Q&A Partial Knee Resurfacing

Q: Why use robotic assistance in the OR for partial knee replacement? A: Partial Knee Replacement is exquisitely sensitive to the technique that we use, and many failures are attributed to surgeon error. We've shown that robotic tools allow for very precise positioning of the implant. This is particularly important for partial knee replacement. My lab in particular, has shown that we are three times more accurate using robotic tools, as compared to manual techniques. Q: How long will the MAKOplasty procedure last? A: We have good data about partial knee replacements (PKR) before robotic arm assistance. Specifically, 90% of partial knee replacements last ten years, and 67-70% of partial knee replacements last twenty years, when manual tools and techniques are utilized. Now that we are using robotic arm assistance, we believe that the longevity and durability of these implants will be much greater. Q: Why should I come to HSS, or Hospital for Special Surgery for my MAKOplasty? A: At Hospital for Special Surgery, we do more joint replacements than any other institution in the world. Our infection rate and complication rate are the lowest anywhere. We've had the MAKOplasty system since it's inception, and I do more MAKOplasty procedures than any other surgeon in the tristate area.
