Robotic hip replacement is an advanced surgical technique that combines robotics technology with traditional hip replacement surgery to improve accuracy and precision. It involves pre-operative planning and intraoperative assistance from a robotic arm to optimize implant positioning and alignment.
1
Pre-operative Planning
Before surgery, a CT scan is used to create a 3D model of the patient's hip joint, allowing the surgeon to plan the procedure with precision.
2
Robotic Assistance
During surgery, the surgeon uses a robotic arm to assist in accurately placing the artificial hip components based on the pre-operative plan.
3
Real-time Feedback
The robotic system provides real-time feedback to the surgeon, allowing for adjustments to be made during the procedure to ensure optimal implant placement.
Robotic technology enables precise planning and execution of implant placement, resulting in optimal alignment and fit tailored to each patient's unique anatomy. By improving the accuracy of component positioning, robotic hip replacement reduces the likelihood of complications such as implant malalignment, leg length discrepancy, and joint instability. With more precise surgical techniques and reduced tissue trauma, patients may experience faster recovery times and earlier return to normal activities. Proper alignment and positioning of the implant are crucial factors in implant longevity and overall success of the surgery. Robotic assistance helps achieve optimal implant placement, potentially leading to better long-term outcomes.
Customized Rehabilitation Plan
Physical therapy and rehabilitation exercises are designed to optimize strength, flexibility, and function of the hip joint while taking into account the precise alignment achieved during surgery.
Close Monitoring
Regular follow-up appointments with the surgeon allow for ongoing assessment of progress and function, with adjustments made to the rehabilitation plan as needed.
Patient Education
Patients receive guidance on post-operative care, including activity modifications, pain management strategies, and precautions to promote successful recovery and long-term implant durability
