Discover the benefits robotics-assisted surgery with Smith+Nephew implants can deliver—a naturally shaped knee,2 a quicker, smoother recovery*3,4 and an implant made from materials designed to last.
A unique plan
With 3D digital modeling, you get a surgical plan that’s customized to your unique anatomy. That means your surgeon can perform your procedure efficiently and more accurately than traditional knee replacement surgery.
A natural fit
With a robotics-assisted procedure using Smith+Nephew implants, your surgeon can help you keep more of your natural bone and ligaments, including the ACL. That means your body can maintain more of its natural rhythm and step.
Why does my knee hurt?
Sometimes called “wear and tear” arthritis, osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis. When the smooth cushion between bones (cartilage) breaks down, joints can get painful, swollen and hard to move.
What can I do about my knee pain?
There’s no cure for osteoarthritis, but there are lots of treatment options, including exercises, weight loss, medication or surgery. If your doctor has recommended knee replacement surgery, there are important choices for you to consider.
Partial
Most often an option for early- to mid-stage osteoarthritis, your surgeon replaces the damaged part of your knee.
Total
Most often an option for advanced osteoarthritis, your surgeon replaces the entire knee joint.
