INNOVATIONS IN JOINT REPLACEMENT SURGERY
Joint replacement surgery is a successful procedure which significantly reduces pain and improves mobility. The procedure has evolved over time and recent innovations aim to improve outcomes and speed up recovery.
Some Recent Innovations
ADVANCED 3D TEMPLATING
Allows the surgeon to understand patient pathology, anticipate intraoperative challenges and evaluate the range of implant types that could be used.
COMPUTER AIDED SURGERY
Provides real-time, intraoperative measurements for fast, easy and accurate positioning of the implants.
ROBOTIC-ASSISTED SURGERY
Takes the technology from computer aided surgery and provides a robotic arm, with haptic feed-back, which the surgeons holds to make the bong cuts.
CUSTOM CUTTING JIGS
Manufacturing of custom cutting jigs which the surgeon places into position to allow more accurate positioning of implants
MINIMALLY INVASIVE TECHNIQUES
Surgical techniques have evolved to become less invasive, reducing tissue damage and leading to faster recovery times.
ADVANCED PAIN MANGEMENT
Improved methods of pain management post-surgery, including nerve blocks and localised drug delivery systems, enhance patient comfort and accelerate recovery.
