Preparing for robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery involves steps to ensure optimal surgical outcomes and a smooth, swift rehabilitation. Robotic knee systems like Stryker's MAKO SmartRobotics allow Dr. Sarthak Walia to construct a 3D digital model of your knee joint to plan the surgery with sub-millimeter precision. Pre-operative preparation includes joint strengthening exercises, nutritional optimization, home safety setup, and clear instructions for fasting on the morning of surgery to minimize post-operative risks.
