Robotic hip replacement surgery

What is a robotic hip replacement?

Robotic hip replacement surgery in Turkey is a relatively new technology, although it has been used in overseas countries for nearly ten years.
Its main objective is to assist the surgeon in achieving high accuracy when positioning the hip joint knee A small surgical incision.
This has already been proven to be ops Robotic-assisted hip and knee replacement It gives excellent results in the long run.

Where many studies Short-term and published in medical journals and confirm its usefulness on the life of the joint.
As for long-term studies of this procedure, given that robots are relatively new, there are still no studies on how this technology might affect "long-term" outcomes.

Benefits of robotic hip replacement

Robot-assisted hip replacement has several benefits, including:

• Surgery is safer
• quick recovery
• smaller cracks
• low bleeding
• Leg length recovery
• Precise joint position
• Less damage to the areas around the joint

In general, a healthy thigh is very important to your health.
Arthritis or a hip injury can cause severe pain and reduce your ability to move.
But if nonsurgical treatment doesn't relieve the pain, total hip replacement may help restore full joint health.

In this case, the robotic arm assists in hip surgery in three ways:

• Virtual surgery: Where the surgeon can perform surgery before the actual surgery.
• During surgery: The robotic arm places a piece of equipment in the joint with great precision, preventing the surgeon from coming out of the area of the planned surgery.
• 3D modeling: A 3D model of the joints is uploaded to the robotic arm's computer and cuts are made with pinpoint accuracy during surgery.

Using a robotic arm reduces the risk of misplacing the joint during a hip replacement.

What can be expected during a robotic hip replacement in Turkey?

Before the surgery, you will be under anesthesia, which will make you sleep during the procedure.
During surgery, the surgeon will make a small incision above your hip and remove the damaged parts of the joint. Then he will insert the artificial hip joints.

The surgery usually takes about two to four hours. Little blood loss occurs during robotic arm surgery.
However, you can donate your blood if needed before the operation.

Using a robotic arm during surgery may mean a faster recovery time.
The precision of the robotic arm helps protect the surrounding soft tissues and muscles.
This means that there is little to cure.

But you may need to wear compression stockings to reduce the risk of blood clots.
You may also need blood-thinning medications.
At the beginning of your recovery period, try gentle exercises. Then slowly switch to low-impact activities, such as walking or dancing.

Common cases requiring robot-assisted hip replacement

Arthritis is the most common condition that damages the hip joint enough that it needs to be replaced. After exhausting all other means of treatment as ( Stem cell injection or Clean the joint with the arthropodR).
Other conditions that can harm the hips include:

• fractures
• bone growth
• trauma or injury
• The wear and tear of age

Surgery can Hip replacement To restore movement and independence to the many people who suffer from bone and soft tissue deterioration due to arthritis, injury and other problems.

Over the past years, doctors have been performing manual hip replacements.
While many of the operations were fine, others were unsuccessful due to the new hip making one limb longer or shorter than the other.
Now with robot-assisted surgery, hip replacement surgeries are an overwhelming success, and downtime has been significantly reduced.

Hip replacement surgery field

Hip replacement surgery involves replacing the natural ball and socket hip joint with an artificial joint.
A metal stem with a ball at its end is implanted into the upper part of the thigh bone - the large bone in your thigh - and a matching artificial socket is implanted in the hip area.

How robot-assisted hip replacement works

The hip replacement procedure begins with a CT scan of your hip joint, which generates a 3-D model of your bones.

During surgery, the robotic arm uses a preprogrammed sequence to perform the procedure.
If necessary, the doctor can adjust the information in real time, a feature that helps the robotics system (mako) to adapt to changing conditions during surgery.
Depending on the surgical plan, the arm moves only within a predetermined area, preventing variations during the procedure.

One of the biggest keys to successful hip replacement surgery is making sure the tip of the hip replaced matches the length of the other leg.
Studies show that robot-assisted surgery is five times better at matching leg length than conventional surgery.
The angle of the hip joint is another key factor in the success of the procedure as well, and here robotic techniques are more accurate than manual surgery.

Benefits of a robotic hip replacement

Because of the large size of the hip joint and replacement prostheses, the manual surgical incisions can sometimes be larger and more numerous than they should, resulting in larger tissue disruptions.
Because the Mako system is so precise, these disturbances are minimized, which may allow you to recover faster after a hip replacement.
You can be back on your feet the same day and be ready to start physical therapy in a day or two.

What does a robotic hip replacement surgery involve?

First, the patient is evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon to decide whether or not the patient is suitable for joint replacement surgery.
Then a specialized CT scan of the limb is done to map the bone anatomy and alignment of the leg.

A preoperative surgical plan including implant placement and sizing using robotic software is then developed and reviewed by the surgeon.
The robotic arm controlled by the surgeon also helps position the joint during surgery to achieve the desired plan.
The surgeon holds the robotic arm and provides live feedback with visual images and tactile (tactile) feedback to the computer.
