How Robotic Surgery Improves Accuracy in Joint Replacement

Your joints work very hard all day and continue to do so for many years. So, it is natural for them to get worn down or damaged over a long time. But, what happens when the wear and tear is too much to deal with- when every decision you need to take about your routine is dictated by chronic pain that refuses to go away? What can you do when none of the conservative methods of treatment work for you? You will need to talk to an experienced orthopedic doctor and consider getting hip replacement in Hyderabad.

What is Robotics in Joint Replacement Surgery?

A robotic arm is used by surgeons during the procedure. The arm first makes a detailed true-to-anatomy model of the hip using several high resolution CT scan images. This gives the surgeon a good idea of what to expect with respect to anatomical quirks, how much bone needs to be taken out, where the prosthetic implant has to be placed and to improve accuracy and precision overall. The robotic arm also moves within a designated area only, minimising damage to surrounding soft tissue. 

One of the major plus points is even during surgery, the surgeon can get real time feedback about where to make adjustments with respect to incision size, bone cuts and other important information, instead of having to work with just the initial image. 

Benefits of Getting Robotic Hip Replacement in Hyderabad-

These are some of the benefits you can expect, when you choose to use robotics in joint replacement surgery-

• Exceptional surgical precision- Bone cuts and positioning of implant parts are done extremely accurately, with the help of the robotic arm. This means your joint will feel more natural to walk or move around with, once you heal. 
• Personalised surgical plan- Everyone has the same bones but each person’s anatomy is different. With proper 3D modelling of the hip, the surgeon gets a good idea of where to cut bone, how much damage is present and also work on placing the implant in the right orientation, so that the prosthetic is useful for many years to come. 
• Minimally Invasive Surgical Technique- Robotic arm helps in using a minimally invasive approach- smaller incisions are made, specialized instruments are inserted via those cuts, so surrounding tissues don’t get disturbed. This means less swelling and inflammation and quicker recovery. There is an added plus of not having to worry too much about the area getting infected, if proper hygiene is practiced. 
• Minimal blood loss- Smaller incisions mean small scars, very low blood loss and better recovery post-surgery. This translates to a shorter hospital stay and you can get back to your routine much sooner rather than later. 
• Better Joint Durability and Life- When implants are placed accurately, they don’t get worn down as much, which means their durability also is high.
