Robotic Hip Replacement

Robotic hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which robotic technology assists surgeons in replacing a damaged or arthritic hip joint with a high level of precision. Unlike traditional hip replacement, which relies solely on the surgeon’s manual skill, robotic hip replacement uses a robotic arm or navigational system to enhance accuracy in every step of the surgery—from preoperative planning to the placement of the implant. This technology enables surgeons to create a 3D model of the patient’s hip joint, which provides a highly detailed view of the unique anatomy of the hip.

What Is Robotic Hip Replacement Surgery?

In a typical hip replacement, a surgeon replaces a damaged or arthritic hip joint with an artificial one, usually made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. This relieves pain, restores function, and helps patients return to normal activities. Robotic-assisted hip replacement uses a robotic system to aid the surgeon in performing each step of this procedure with heightened accuracy, allowing for a more personalized approach that aligns closely with the patient’s unique hip structure.
