Robotic hip replacement is a procedure akin to traditional hip replacement surgery, where your surgeon removes damaged hip joint tissue and replaces it with an artificial joint. However, what sets it apart is the integration of a robotic arm or handheld robotic device in the process.
When your orthopaedic surgeon suggests a Minimally invasive robotic Hip resurfacing procedure, the initial step involves capturing highly precise CT scan images of your hip joint. These images play a pivotal role in meticulously planning your surgery. They account for factors such as your bone structure, hip joint alignment, and the surrounding tissues. Armed with this information, your surgeon can plan every aspect of the surgery, from selecting the most suitable implant size to determining its location and positioning. During the Mako hip replacement, your surgeon will use tracking pins on your knee and hip to assist the robot in visualizing your anatomy. The Mako arm then adjusts itself according to these measurements, and your surgeon utilizes the robotic tool throughout the procedure. It’s essential to note that the robot doesn’t perform the surgery itself; rather, it acts as a guide, ensuring more precise incisions, optimal positioning, and, in many cases, a quicker and smoother recovery. Post-surgery, your surgeon and care team will closely monitor your progress, alleviate discomfort, and guide you through your at-home recovery.
Hip replacement surgery is typically recommended to address severe pain resulting from conditions like osteoarthritis. Tasks as simple as walking or sitting and rising from chairs can become arduous for individuals in need of hip replacement surgery.
Minimally invasive robotic Hip resurfacing procedure, with its precision incisions and optimized joint alignment, may lead to a swifter and more effective recovery. Following your surgery, your surgeon and care team will continue to monitor your progress, alleviate discomfort, and chart a path for your recovery at home.
Hip replacement surgery is usually required when the hip joint deteriorates to a point where mobility is restricted, leading to persistent pain, even while at rest.
Careorthopaedics Hospital boasts state-of-the-art technology for performing joint replacement surgeries, including the Minimally invasive robotic Hip resurfacing procedure technology. Patients experience less post-operative pain, reduced hospital stays, the ability to walk early, and a quicker recovery.
Medical evaluation, blood tests, electrocardiogram, stress tests, hip joint X-rays, chest X-rays, and urine samples are standard diagnostic tests. These tests determine your readiness for surgery and uncover any underlying conditions that may require special attention before proceeding.
During the surgery
As with any surgical procedure, robotic-assisted systems come with increased risks of nerve damage, infection, elevated blood loss, and extended surgical time for both knee and hip replacement surgeries.
