Everything About Robotic Knee Replacement
A robotic knee replacement is similar to a standard knee replacement in that it replaces the knee joint. Damaged tissue in your knee is removed and replaced with an artificial joint by your surgeon. The only difference is that it’s made with the help of a robotic arm.

What is Wrist Arthroscopy?
Wrist arthroscopy can be used to look inside the joint of the wrist. It is a minimally invasive technique which can be utilized for diagnostic purposes as well as for therapeutic interventions. Wrist arthroscopy has been used for diagnostic purposes

Why Does it Happen?
A broken wrist is break or crack in one or more of the bones of your wrist. When someone tries to catch themselves during a fall and lands forcefully on an outstretched hand, they most frequently injure their wrist.

Recovery Rate
The average recovery time for fractures is 6 to 8 weeks, but this varies greatly from bone to bone and from person to person depending on several of the above-mentioned factors. While a tibia fracture may take 20 weeks or longer to heal, hand and wrist fractures often do so in 4–6 weeks.

Causes
A broken wrist may occur from:
- Falls: One of the most frequent causes of a broken wrist is falling onto an outstretched hand.
- Sports injury: Sports involving contact or in which you could fall onto an outstretched hand, like in-line skating or snowboarding, frequently result in wrist fractures.
- Vehicle accidents: Wrist bones can break in vehicle accidents, sometimes in multiple pieces, and frequently need surgery to be fixed.
Symptoms
These symptoms and indicators could be caused by a broken wrist:
- severe pain that could get worse if you squeeze, hold, or move your hand or wrist
- Swelling
- Tenderness
- Bruising
- Obvious deformation, such as a bent wrist

Diagnosis
Test
Test
- X-ray: The most common wrist pain test is this one. Using a minimal amount of radiation, X-rays can detect osteoarthritis symptoms or bone fractures.
- CT: This scan may be able to detect fractures that are invisible on X-rays and offer more detailed views of the wrist’s bones.
- MRI: This procedure creates precise images of the bones and soft tissues using radio waves and a strong magnetic field. Instead of using whole-body MRI equipment, you might be able to place your arm into a smaller apparatus for a wrist MRI.
- Ultrasound: This quick, non-invasive examination can be used to look at cysts, ligaments, and tendons.

Risks & Complications
Risk and complications
If left untreated
Risk and complications
- ongoing stiffness, pain, or disability. After your cast is removed or following surgery, stiffness, pain, or aching usually gradually go away in the affected area. However, some people experience discomfort or stiffness all the time. Be patient as you recover, and ask your doctor for advice on exercises or a recommendation for physical or occupational therapy.
Osteoarthritis. Arthritis can develop years after a fracture that extends into a joint. See your doctor for a checkup if your wrist continues to ache or bulge after a break.
damage to blood vessels or nerves. Injury to the wrist might harm nearby blood vessels and nerves. If you experience numbness or circulation issues, seek medical attention right away.
If left untreated
Untreated bone fractures can lead to either a delayed or non-union of the bone. In the first case, the bone doesn’t heal at all, so it will continue to be fractured. As a result, over time, swelling, redness, and suffering will only get worse.
Benefits of Advanced Shoulder Arthroscopy
- Accuracy in diagnosis
- A danger of problems such as an infection or a blood clot in the joint is less than 1%.
- Only one or two days are spent in the hospital, and recovery time at home is quick.
- Following surgery, physiotherapy can be started right away, hastening recovery.
- Compared to traditional surgery, recovery time is substantially quicker.

When to consult a doctor ?
Consult your orthopedics as soon as you experience :
Some fractures can wait to be examined by your doctor or an urgent care. But, if you can see the fractured bone protruding through the skin, or if your wrist is misaligned or mangled due to trauma don’t hesitate to get to the nearest ER

Insurance coverage
Insurance does cover the cost of the surgical procedure for a hysterectomy performed due to adenomyosis because it is on the list of procedures that are "medically required." The cost capping, however, may change from instance to case. Please get your healthcare or insurance company to validate this.
