The knee is the body’s largest and strongest joint. Arthritic knee pain can be caused by joint inflammation. Arthritis is the progressive joint inflammation that can make it difficult to perform daily tasks. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disorder that destroys joint cartilage and bone, which can lead to knee arthritis.
Knee replacements are already one of the safest and most successful surgeries, with minimal risks of complications and long-lasting quality-of-life enhancements. Nevertheless, robotic-assisted knee replacements may improve patient outcomes and satisfaction further.
A robotic knee replacement is comparable to the conventional procedure. Your knee’s damaged tissue is removed and replaced with an artificial joint by your surgeon. The distinction is that it is performed with the aid of a robotic arm or handheld robotic device. (depending on the robotic system used for your surgery).
When referring to “robotic” knee replacements, we are not referring to the type of artificial joint that is implanted, but rather to the manner in which the procedure is performed. In other words, after surgery you will not have a robotic knee joint.
Robotic knee replacement, on the other hand, is a procedure that employs robotic technology to improve the accuracy and precision of knee replacement. At TRIA, we utilize the robotic surgical assistant ROSA® Knee System.And, if you’re wondering if the robot performs the surgery on its own, the answer is no.
The robot does not perform the surgical procedure on its own.
The robot helps us to perform the surgery; it does not perform the surgery on its own.
Greater precision is possible with robotic-assisted procedures, which can also result in shorter recovery times and improved outcomes. In more complex cases, a robotic-assisted knee replacement provides a better balance in the soft tissues surrounding the knee and a more accurate alignment of the joint.
Preparation for robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery is identical to preparation for conventional knee replacement surgery.
Advantages of Robotic Knee Surgery
-A less invasive option for knee replacement surgery
-A more ideal implant fit
-The recuperation period following a robotic knee replacement may be shorter.
-Greater patient contentment
When cartilage in the shoulder’s inner joint capsule is torn, a SLAP tear occurs. Tears can be caused by accident or overuse, and can make it unpleasant or difficult to move your shoulder and arm. If left untreated, these tears can cause chronic pain, impair arm and shoulder mobility, and lead to more severe shoulder problems.
Three causes contribute to SLAP tears:
Chronic damage. Over time, SLAP rips can occur in athletes and exercisers who perform a great deal of overhead motion. Baseball and softball, swimming, and weightlifting are common causes of SLAP tears. Chronic trauma is the leading cause of SLAP tears.
Acute injury. SLAP tears can occur if you try to block a fall with an outstretched arm or if you lift heavy objects with sudden jerking movements.
Aging. Labrum degeneration might result in SLAP tears over time. This tear is typically observed in individuals aged 40 and older.
Common SLAP tear symptoms include:
Shoulder pain that can be a persistent dull ache or a sharp pain deep in your shoulder.
Shoulder pain in certain positions, like raising your arm or stretching your arm behind your head.
Shoulder pain when you do certain things, like throwing a ball or reaching overhead.
Popping noises or a grinding feeling when you move your shoulder.
A feeling like your shoulder might pop out of your shoulder blade.

The shoulder’s rotator cuff is made up of muscles and tendons that work together to retain the upper arm bone’s head in its shallow socket. Shoulder pain that gets worse at night may be the result of a rotator cuff injury.
It’s not uncommon to suffer a rotator cuff injury, and the risk only rises with time. Workers in occupations like painting and carpentry, where overhead motions are required often, may be at a higher risk for developing these injuries at an earlier age.Shoulder joint mobility and strength can be enhanced by physical therapy.
Exercises like these are often all that’s needed to alleviate the pain and discomfort caused by rotator cuff issues for many people.
The rotator cuff can be torn in multiple places, but it can also tear from a single injury. In such cases, it’s important to consult a doctor very once; surgical intervention may be required.
Pain linked with a rotator cuff injury may be caused by:
Be described as a dull, deep shoulder aching.
Interrupt sleep Make it harder to comb hair or reach behind the back
associated with arm weakness
Some rotator cuff injuries are painless.

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is characterized by joint stiffness and pain. Typically, signs and symptoms manifest gradually, then worsen. Typically, symptoms improve within one to three years.
Long periods of shoulder immobility increase the likelihood of getting frozen shoulder. This could occur following surgery or a broken arm.
Shoulder frozenness is treated by range-of-motion exercises. Occasionally, injections of corticosteroids and analgesics are used to relieve joint pain. Rarely is arthroscopic surgery required to release the joint capsule to allow for greater mobility.
Recurrence of frozen shoulder in the same shoulder is uncommon. However, some individuals can get it in the other shoulder, typically within five years.
Typically, frozen shoulder develops gradually in three stages.
Freezing stage. Any shoulder movement creates pain, and the shoulder’s range of motion becomes restricted. This phase lasts between 2 and 9 months.
Frozen stage. Pain may diminish during this stage. Nonetheless, the shoulder gets more rigid. It becomes more difficult to use. This phase lasts between 4 and 12 months.
Thawing stage. The mobility of the shoulder begins to improve. This phase lasts between 5 to 24 months.
For other individuals, the discomfort worsens at night, perhaps interfering with sleep.
Arthrosis of the shoulder joint is a chronic condition characterized by destruction to cartilage tissue, followed by the development of bone growth and walking difficulties. Typically, the elderly are affected, but severe physical labor and inflammatory processes contribute to the early onset of the disease. Without prompt treatment, the afflicted joint becomes entirely immobilized.
There is a layer of cartilage between the bone contact locations. It ensures its simple sliding in respect to the other, ensuring painless and trouble-free joint work. An excessive amount of stress, inflammation, or damage can initiate a degenerative process that extends progressively across the entire surface.
As a result, the smoothness of the joint surfaces is compromised, and movement becomes painful. Additionally, at the borders of the damaged joint, bony growths begin to replace the missing cartilage. As the degenerative process advances, not only the bones but also the surrounding tissue are affected. The extremity is distorted, the muscles spasm, and the ligaments become weak and lose their flexibility. Without therapy, the capacity to move the arm is lost.
The principal signs of shoulder arthritis are:
Intensity, length, and character of pain feelings are dependent on the degree of damage.
In the early stages of the disease, crunch is one of the hallmark symptoms; it differs from the normal in having a coarser tone and is typically accompanied by pain.
Mobility restriction: related with the emergence of pathological growths and cartilage particles damaged within the joint; in its early stages, it manifests as slight morning stiffness, progressing to total immobility (ankylosis);
In the later stages of the disease, a change in the shapes of the joint and then of the hand shows the full loss of cartilage and the participation of bones, muscles, and ligaments in the pathological process.
When calcium deposits accumulate in your tendons or muscles, you get calcific tendonitis. These deposits may become irritated and painful. Calcific tendonitis can occur everywhere in the body, although the shoulder joint is most commonly affected.
Calcium deposition in the tendons causes calcific tendinitis. These calcium deposits might form in a single site or in multiple locations. If the deposits get larger or inflamed, they can cause excruciating agony. Calcific tendonitis typically affects the shoulder, or rotator cuff, although it can occur anywhere on the body.
People with calcific tendinitis may exhibit a variety of symptoms. These consist of:
Sudden shoulder discomfort or stiffness.
Shoulder movement causes excruciating pain.
Extreme pain that prevents sleep.
decreased range of motion
Rotator cuff sensitivity.
