Step 1. Registration of the anatomy

Small temporary markers are placed that allow the robotic system to recognize with precision the anatomy of your knee.

This information creates a personalized three-dimensional model to guide the surgery.

Step 2. Personalized planning

Before performing any cut, the surgeon evaluates in real time the alignment, the movement and the balance of the knee. With this information the surgical plan is adjusted to adapt it to the anatomy and needs of each patient.

Step 3. Preparation of the bone

With the assistance of the robotic system, the surgeon carefully prepares the femur and the tibia. The technology provides feedback in real time to help perform the planned cuts with precision.

Step 4. Placement of the prosthesis

The prosthetic components are placed and its position, alignment and stability are verified. Before fixing them definitively, the movement of the knee is checked during all its range of mobility.

Step 5 Final verification

The stability, the balance of the ligaments and the functioning of the joint are confirmed again. Only when all these parameters are satisfactory is the surgery finalized.

Step 6. Recovery and rehabilitation

After the surgery, the patient begins an individualized recovery program. The mobilization usually is initiated the same day or the next day, followed by physiotherapy to recover the strength, the mobility and the function of the knee.

A surgery guided by technology, performed by your surgeon

Robotic surgery does not replace the surgeon. The robotic system acts as an assistance tool that provides information and guidance during the procedure, while all surgical decisions and every step of the operation are performed by the specialist.

🤖 The Precision of the Future: Robotic Joint Surgery Is Now Available in Costa Rica

The Definitive Goodbye to Joint Pain

If you have dealt with chronic knee or hip pain caused by osteoarthritis (joint wear and tear), you know that it can be a barrier to a full life. Fortunately, medical technology is advancing by leaps and bounds.

Today, Robotic Joint Surgery is not science fiction; it is the most advanced technique available for Joint Replacement procedures (total arthroplasty) and is ushering in a new era of precision and recovery for patients in Costa Rica.

What is Robot-Assisted Joint Surgery?

It is important to understand that in robotic surgery, the robot does not operate on its own. It is a sophisticated navigation and assistance tool that works under the complete control of the orthopedic surgeon.

This system uses three-dimensional images of your anatomy (obtained before and during surgery) to create a personalized surgical plan. The robotic arm assists Dr. Aria Alexander Ravery Morovati in real time, guiding the instruments with submillimetric precision. This allows:

• Personalized Preoperative Planning: An exact map of your hip or knee before the incision.
• Millimetric Bone Preparation: Ensures that implants are placed with the perfect angle and alignment.

Key Advantages for the Patient: More Precision, Less Risk

The precision offered by robotic assistance translates into direct and important benefits for you:

1. Perfect Implant Alignment: The optimal placement of the prosthesis is crucial for its durability. Robotics helps ensure that the implant lasts longer and functions naturally.

2. Less Damage to Soft Tissues: Being more precise, the surgery minimizes manipulation and damage to surrounding ligaments and tissues, which may reduce postoperative pain.

3. Accelerated Recovery: Thanks to less invasiveness and precision in alignment, many patients experience faster functional recovery and shorter hospital stays.

4. Greater Stability: An ideal balance of the ligaments around the new joint is achieved, providing a more stable and natural feeling when walking.

Applications: Who Is Robotic Surgery For?

Robotic-assisted technology is especially beneficial in complex joint replacement procedures such as:

• Total Knee Replacement (Knee Arthroplasty)
• Total Hip Replacement (Hip Arthroplasty)

If you suffer from constant pain, difficulty walking, or limited movement due to osteoarthritis, you are a potential candidate to consider this cutting-edge technique.

The Irreplaceable Role of the Expert Surgeon

It is vital to remember that robotic technology is only as good as the surgeon who uses it.

Dr. Ravery, with his advanced training and experience in Hip and Knee Replacements (including his Fellowship at the prestigious Toronto Western Hospital), is the one who programs, supervises, and performs every step of the surgery. Robotics is a premium assistant that enhances the specialist’s knowledge and skill.

Choosing robotic surgery with an experienced surgeon means choosing the best of both worlds: human expertise and technological precision.

Take Control of Your Joint Health

Pain does not have to be part of your daily life. If you are considering joint replacement, robot-assisted surgery offers the promise of a more precise result, a faster recovery, and greater implant longevity.
