Total Knee CORI Robotic Procedure

Description

In this detailed medical presentation, Dr. Steven B. Haas outlines the process of performing a total knee arthroplasty on a 62-year-old male patient suffering from severe knee pain and moderate laxity. Starting with patient assessment and radiographic evaluations, he emphasizes the importance of aligning the knee's natural anatomy, utilizing both lateral and flexion views for an accurate diagnosis.



He explains the intricacies of planning treatments based on the preoperative condition, detailing the alignment of the tibia and femur, and the adjustments necessary to restore the patient's anatomical alignment using a Journey II implant with built-in varus and valgus corrections.



Through comprehensive step-by-step narration, Dr. Haas demonstrates the surgical procedure, including incisions, exposure, and the crucial use of precise instruments for bone removal. He also discusses implementing robotic assistance during the procedure to enhance cutting precision, the importance of gap measurements throughout the surgical steps, and the final stages of implant placement, including the routine checking of the cuts and gaps to ensure optimal outcomes.



Finally, the process culminates in inserting a polyethylene liner and securing the implant before concluding the presentation with postoperative radiographic imaging, illustrating the success of the procedure.
