Robotic-Assisted Patellofemoral Arthroplasty for Targeted Kneecap Arthritis Relief

Robotic-Assisted Patellofemoral Arthroplasty is an advanced knee replacement procedure designed to treat arthritis and damage limited to the kneecap (patella) and the groove it moves in (femur). At Roboknee, robotic precision ensures accurate implant positioning, smoother kneecap movement, and long-lasting pain relief.

Precision Treatment for Front-of-Knee Pain Using Robotic Technology

By replacing only the damaged patellofemoral compartment, this robotic-assisted approach preserves healthy knee structures while restoring natural kneecap tracking. The result is improved mobility, reduced pain during daily activities, and better functional outcomes.

How Robotic-Assisted Patellofemoral Arthroplasty Works

Patellofemoral arthritis affects the front part of the knee, often causing pain while climbing stairs, standing up from a seated position, or squatting. When conservative treatments fail, patellofemoral arthroplasty becomes an effective solution.

Robotic-Assisted Patellofemoral Arthroplasty at Roboknee uses advanced robotic systems to map the knee joint in detail and guide the procedure with exceptional accuracy. The robotic technology helps prepare bone precisely and position the implant to ensure optimal kneecap alignment and smooth joint movement. By preserving the remaining healthy compartments of the knee, this approach offers a more natural feel and can reduce recovery time compared to total knee replacement.

Frequently Ask Questions

What is Robotic-Assisted Patellofemoral Arthroplasty?

It is a robotic-guided knee replacement procedure that treats arthritis limited to the kneecap and the front groove of the femur.

Who is an ideal candidate for this procedure?

Patients with isolated patellofemoral arthritis, chronic front-of-knee pain, and preserved knee ligaments are ideal candidates.

How is this different from partial or total knee replacement?

This procedure replaces only the patellofemoral compartment, preserving the rest of the knee joint and maintaining more natural movement.

Does robotic assistance improve accuracy?

Yes. Robotic guidance ensures precise implant placement, better kneecap tracking, and balanced joint mechanics.

Is the procedure safe?

Yes. It is a well-established, safe technique performed using advanced robotic systems under expert supervision.

Will it help with stair climbing and sitting pain?

Yes. Correcting kneecap alignment often reduces pain during activities that load the front of the knee.

Is recovery faster compared to total knee replacement?

Many patients experience quicker functional recovery due to preservation of healthy bone and ligaments.
