Description
The transcript details a presentation by Sam Oussedik, a consultant orthopedic surgeon in London, on MAKO-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty. He discusses the challenges and successes of total knee replacement surgery, including the low revision rates and ongoing patient dissatisfaction due to issues such as post-operative pain and stiffness. Oussedik advocates for robotic-assisted techniques to reduce surgical trauma and improve patient outcomes. He highlights how advanced surgical techniques, including precise alignment and minimized soft tissue damage, lead to greater patient satisfaction. Throughout the talk, he addresses important concepts like mechanical alignment versus kinematic alignment, providing insights into optimizing surgical techniques to enhance recovery and long-term results for patients undergoing knee arthroplasties.
