Arthritis refers to inflammation of the joints, which can cause pain, stiffness, and swelling. Common types include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout. If untreated, arthritis can lead to reduced joint function and mobility.

Joint replacement surgery can relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance your quality of life. It replaces damaged joint surfaces with prosthetic implants, restoring smooth joint movement and reducing discomfort.

If non-surgical treatments like medication, physical therapy, or injections no longer relieve your joint pain and stiffness, and your daily activities are significantly affected, joint replacement surgery might be recommended. Consult an orthopedic specialist for an accurate diagnosis.

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems. A small camera (arthroscope) is inserted into the joint through tiny incisions, allowing the surgeon to repair damaged tissues with minimal disruption.

In many cases, robotic knee replacement surgery is covered by insurance, but coverage depends on your specific insurance policy. It is advisable to consult with your insurance provider for detailed information.

The choice of knee prosthesis depends on factors like your age, activity level, and anatomy. Common materials include metal alloys, ceramics, and medical-grade plastics. Your surgeon will recommend the most suitable option for your needs.
