Robotic Joint Surgery: Myths vs Facts
With technology entering every corner of healthcare, robotic joint replacement surgeries are transforming orthopedic care. Yet, many patients still hesitate due to common myths. Let’s clear the air.
Myth 1: Robots do the surgery alone
Fact: The surgeon is always in control. Robots assist in precision — they don’t replace the human hand or judgment.
Myth 2: It’s unsafe or experimental
Fact: Robotic surgery is FDA-approved and has been used in thousands of successful procedures worldwide with enhanced accuracy.
Myth 3: Recovery is longer
Fact: In fact, robotic precision reduces tissue trauma, often leading to faster healing and better joint function.
Myth 4: It’s only for complex cases
Fact: Robotic assistance is ideal for both standard and complicated knee or hip replacements — offering consistently excellent results.
Myth 5: It’s too expensive
Fact: While slightly costlier, the long-term benefits of fewer complications and faster recovery make it a worthy investment.
Robotic joint surgery is the future — and it’s available today.
