Traditional joint replacement surgery relies mostly on the experience of the surgeon to determine the position and length of the joint replacement. Due to variations in patient characteristics and surgeon experience, there may be a certain degree of error. In contrast, with the assistance of a robotic arm during joint replacement surgery, a preoperative planning is conducted based on computed tomography (CT) scans to create a 3D joint model. This allows for precise and comprehensive preoperative planning. During the surgery, the surgeon operates the robotic arm to perform precise bone cuts and accurately place the artificial joint, thereby reducing the probability of subjective judgment errors and minimizing the occurrence of leg length discrepancy.
Our hospital utilizes the anterior approach joint surgery and the Makoplasty robotic arm, which minimizes damage to muscles, allowing most patients to walk on the day of surgery. Precise preoperative planning and execution during surgery are the cornerstones to ensure successful hip joint replacement. Currently, our hospital has performed over 450 cases of robotic arm joint replacement surgeries, making us the hospital with the highest number of such surgeries in the central region, and we have achieved good and stable outcomes.
