A State-of-the-Art Device for Knee Replacement Patients Using Computer-generated Imaging

 <br /><br /><br /><br /> <br />Dr. Jeffrey DeClaire, an orthopedic knee specialist and President/Founder of the Michigan Knee Institute, of Rochester Hills, MI, again joins eHealth Radio and the Health News & Orthopedic Channels. <br />A state-of-the-art device for knee replacement patients uses computer-generated imaging combined with robotic surgery to help a surgeon better assess and accurately balance the ligament tension in the knee. Dr.DeClaire’s patients have had superior outcomes and higher satisfaction rates because of this new procedure.<br />Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Jeffrey DeClaire discuss the following:<br />What is the BalanceBot?<br />How is it used during robotic surgery?<br />How does it help the physician?<br />What difference can it make for the patient?<br />How does using robotics with the Balance Bot differ from traditional knee replacement surgery?<br />What is the difference in patient satisfaction after using the Balance Bot as compared to patients who have had traditional surgery?<br />What does using robots combined with artificial intelligence mean for the future of medicine?<br />With more than 30 years of experience, Dr. Jeffrey H. DeClaire is a board-certified and fellowship-trained orthopedic knee knee specialist and the Founder of Michigan Knee Institute, Rochester Hills, Michigan. He is providing provides state-of-the-art robotic surgery techniques for knee replacement patients with a 98 percent satisfaction rate. Dr. DeClaire performs over 1,000 knee surgeries annually. The Michigan Knee Institute offers arthroscopy; ligament reconstruction; meniscus transplantation; cartilage regeneration; outpatient, partial and total knee replacement. Dr. DeClaire has also assisted in the design of implants and a ligament-preserving knee.<br />He is a leader in developing the minimally invasive surgery (MIS) procedure for total knee replacement and pioneered a partial knee replacement, the Patellofemoral Surgical Procedure.
