Robotic surgery in orthopaedics is a modern development that allows greater precision, better planning and a more individualised approach in operations on the hip and the knee. This is not surgery carried out autonomously by a robot, but advanced assistive systems that act as precision instruments in the surgeon's hands.
Dr Alexandros Tzaveas applies robotic technology in arthroplasty operations, adapting the method to each individual case with the aim of a more stable, functional and predictable result.
WHAT IS ROBOTIC SURGERY
Robotic surgery allows detailed preoperative planning and guidance during the operation. The surgeon retains full control, while the technology offers greater precision in the positioning of the implants and in restoring the normal function of the joint. The aim is better alignment, correct mechanical balance and an overall improvement in the final result.
ROBOTIC HIP ARTHROPLASTY WITH MAKO
Total hip arthroplasty is one of the most effective solutions for patients with advanced wear of the joint and severe pain that affects their daily life. Dr Alexandros Tzaveas performs total hip arthroplasty using the MAKO system, which allows:
-precise preoperative planning based on the patient's anatomy
-greater precision in the positioning of the implants -better control of leg length
-improved restoration of the function of the joint
The use of MAKO contributes to a more stable and predictable result, while full control of the operation always remains with the surgeon.
ROBOTIC KNEE ARTHROPLASTY WITH ROSA
Total knee arthroplasty is recommended in cases of advanced arthritis, severe pain and restricted mobility that no longer respond to conservative methods. For operations on the knee, Dr Alexandros Tzaveas uses the ROSA system, which assists: -in the precise alignment of the joint -in the correct balancing of the ligaments -in tailoring the operation to the anatomy of the patient Robotic assistance with ROSA allows better control during the operation and contributes to more natural function of the knee after rehabilitation.
ADVANTAGES OF ROBOTIC SURGERY
Robotic technology offers significant advantages in arthroplasty operations:
- greater precision
- individualised planning
- improved function of the joint
- a more predictable result
The robotic technique is always chosen on an individual basis, according to the needs and characteristics of each patient.
BOOK AN APPOINTMENT
If pain in the hip or the knee is affecting your daily life, proper assessment is the first step. A full diagnosis can establish whether arthroplasty is the right solution and whether robotic assistance with MAKO or ROSA is indicated in your own case.
IN CLOSING
Robotic surgery in orthopaedics is an important tool that enhances the precision and the quality of the operation. Dr Alexandros Tzaveas makes use of the modern MAKO system for the hip and ROSA for the knee, with the aim of meaningful relief from pain and the return of the patient to a functional daily life of good quality.
