A Houston Physicians' Hospital patient, in his own words.
A Houston Physicians' Hospital patient describes his knee replacement for osteoarthritis, performed with robotic-arm assisted surgery.
In his account, the things that mattered were straightforward: the implant sat where it was supposed to, less healthy tissue was disturbed getting there, and there was less pain afterward than he expected.
The parts that mattered to him were simple — less pain than expected, and a knee that worked again.
Every patient's recovery is their own, and this is one person's experience rather than a promise. If knee or hip pain has reached the point of considering surgery, a specialist can tell you what applies to your joint.
