What joints can be replaced using robotic technology?
Robotic technology can be used for joint replacement surgery in various joints, including: Knee joint: Robotic-assisted total knee replacement or partial knee replacement can be performed using robotic technology. Hip joint: Robotic-assisted total hip replacement or hip resurfacing can be performed using robotic systems. Shoulder joint: Robotic technology is also utilized for shoulder replacement surgery, including total shoulder replacement or reverse shoulder replacement.
How does robotic joint replacement surgery work?
Robotic joint replacement surgery involves the use of a robotic arm and advanced imaging technology. Prior to the surgery, a CT scan or MRI is taken to create a 3D model of the patient's joint. During the surgery, the surgeon uses the robotic arm, which is guided by the preoperative plan, to remove the damaged joint surfaces and precisely position the new joint implant.
