Robotic Hip Replacement
The orientation of the components (the ball and socket) is critical to achieving a successful outcome in Robotic Hip Replacement. The anatomy of the pelvis and its interaction with the femur is complex, and the movement of the spine also impacts how the pelvis moves when transitioning from a sitting to a standing position. Using the Mako robotic system, Jonathan creates a personalized plan via a CT scan before the surgery to determine the best position for the hip replacement. This advanced technology also accounts for how the pelvis and spine interact during movement. The robotic system ensures that the components are positioned accurately during surgery, which can result in less pain post-operation, a faster recovery, and a reduced risk of complications, such as instability of the hip replacement.
