Mako Robotic Total Hip Replacement in Hyderabad
Hip replacement is one of the most successful orthopedic procedures. In a total hip replacement procedure, both sections of the hip joint are removed and replaced. The hip is a ball-and-socket joint. Robotic-assisted hip replacement surgery can improve the precision and accuracy of the procedure. The most prominent benefits of robotic hip replacement surgery include:
The robotic-assisted hip replacement planning system creates a 3D computerized model of the patient’s hip joint. The surgeon uses this model to plan the procedure based on the patient’s unique anatomy. The procedure can be performed with a high level of precision.
Better Control
The precision and accuracy of the robotic arm allow the surgeon to cut the femur and align the implant components accurately. Robotic-assisted surgery can help reduce inaccuracies such as improper alignment, dislocation, and leg-length discrepancies associated with hip replacement surgery.
The positioning and angulation of the implant components remain close to the planned values as the surgeon performs the procedure according to the specifications provided by the 3D model of the hip joint. The instruments remain within the defined safe zone during the procedure.
Minimum Damage to Healthy Tissues
Robotic-assisted surgery allows the surgeon to perform the procedure through smaller incisions while minimizing damage to the surrounding healthy tissues and muscles. The precise movement of the robotic arm helps the surgeon work through tight spaces while preserving healthy tissues.
What is Total Knee Replacement?
A person with severe knee injury or arthritis may need Total Knee Replacement surgery. Knee arthroplasty resurfaces the damaged areas of the knee joint.
During the procedure, the surgeon removes the damaged cartilage and a small amount of bone from the ends of the femur and tibia. The surgeon then places metal components to recreate the joint surface.
Steps of Total Knee Replacement
There are four basic steps involved in the procedure:
- Preparation of the bone: The surgeon removes damaged cartilage and a small amount of bone from the ends of the femur and tibia.
- Positioning the metal implants: The surgeon places metal components to recreate the joint surface and secures them with cement or a press-fit technique.
Resurfacing the Patella
When necessary, the surgeon reshapes the kneecap (patella) and adds a plastic button.
Inserting a Spacer
The surgeon places a medical-grade plastic spacer between the metal components to create a smooth gliding surface.
Ask your orthopedic surgeon whether robotic orthopedic surgery would be a suitable option for your condition.
