The Elite Knee

Robotic-Assisted Total Knee Replacement

Dr. DeClaire’s Elite Knee procedure is a breakthrough in knee replacement surgery that combines robotic instrumentation, computer-generated imaging, and over 30 years of surgical expertise to provide superior outcomes. The procedure involves the use of robotic technology and a ligament tensioning device to measure a patient’s ligament balance, allowing Dr. DeClaire to determine the best implant position for a well-balanced knee replacement.

The precision and accuracy of the Elite Knee procedure result in a more successful knee replacement with a reduced risk of complications, such as malalignment, instability, stiffness, limitation of motion, and pain. Patients who undergo the Elite Knee procedure report a satisfaction rate of 97%, which is significantly higher than the 81% satisfaction rate reported for traditional, non-robotic knee replacement techniques.

Why Dr. DeClaire may recommend robotic-assisted total knee replacement:

Dr. DeClaire may recommend robotic-assisted total knee replacement because it enables him to customize your surgery for optimal fit and plan your knee replacement using the latest technology. The OMNIBotics™ system is a state-of-the-art robotic-assisted technology surgeons use to plan and perform total knee replacement accurately. With computer guidance, Dr. DeClaire can measure and track your knee anatomy and plan the implant placement to best fit your specific needs.


The Technology OMNIBotics™ System

The OMNIBotics™ system allows Dr. DeClaire to customize your knee replacement procedure according to your anatomy, lifestyle, and activity level. The plan is optimized to restore proper soft tissue balance and leg alignment, two critical factors to knee replacement outcomes. Robotic instruments are used by the surgeon with computer guidance to ensure that the procedure is carried out precisely to plan.

Using these advanced robotics, the OMNIBotics™ total knee replacement procedure can help you regain pain-free knee function, return to a normal daily lifestyle, and remain active for years to come. Contact us today to learn more about how Dr. DeClaire’s expertise and the OMNIBotics™ system can provide you with a personalized knee replacement procedure that meets your unique needs.

 

Patient-specific knee replacement

We’re all different!

At our clinic, we recognize that every patient is unique, which is why we offer the OMNIBotics surgery. This innovative procedure utilizes patented Bone Morphing™ technology that creates a 3D virtual model of your knee during surgery. This allows your surgeon to precisely plan and execute a personalized surgery specific to your knee.

 

Precision leg alignment

Precision leg alignment is critical for even distribution of everyday stresses on the knee. Using the custom 3D model, the OMNIBotics software provides your surgeon with a live virtual plan to accurately create a knee replacement aligned to your body’s mechanical axis. The surgeon uses the OMNIBot™ cutting guide to ensure robotic precision, providing a well-aligned new knee.

 

Balance is everything

A successful total knee replacement requires equal tensions on both sides of the knee for soft tissue and ligaments. OMNIBotics is the only knee procedure that has a robotic instrument, the BalanceBot™, designed to help your surgeon assess and balance your knee. This device helps reduce the need for additional incisions in your ligaments, resulting in less swelling and pain.

By incorporating a less invasive protocol and advanced tools like Bone Morphing, OMNIBot, and BalanceBot, the OMNIBotics total knee replacement procedure is designed to help you return to a more active daily lifestyle. Our patients have reported a satisfaction rate of 96%, significantly higher than traditional methods, which average about 81%.
