Robotic Orthopedic Surgery
Robotic orthopedic surgery is an advanced, technology-driven approach used to perform bone and joint surgeries with high precision. In this technique, robotic systems assist orthopedic surgeons in planning and executing procedures involving the knee, hip, spine, shoulder, and other musculoskeletal structures.
The robotic system does not replace the surgeon; instead, it enhances surgical accuracy by providing:
Real-time 3D imaging
Precise bone cutting and implant positioning
Personalized surgical planning based on patient anatomy
Robotic assistance helps improve implant alignment, joint function, and long-term surgical outcomes.
2. Bone and Alignment Disorders
Bone deformities
Limb length discrepancy
Malalignment of joints
1. Joint Disorders
Knee osteoarthritis
Hip arthritis
Shoulder joint degeneration
Orthopedic Problems Treated Using Robotic Surgery
Robotic orthopedic surgery is used to treat various musculoskeletal conditions, including:
3. Spinal Disorders
Degenerative spine disease
Spinal instability
Scoliosis
Herniated discs (selected cases)
4. Sports and Trauma-Related Conditions
Joint damage due to sports injuries
Complex fractures requiring precise alignment.
2. Robotic Hip Replacement
Precise placement of hip implants
Reduced risk of dislocation
Improved leg length accuracy
1. Robotic Knee Replacement
Partial knee replacement
Total knee replacement
Ensures accurate implant positioning and balanced joint movement
Robotic Surgeries Performed in Orthopedics
Robotic systems are commonly used to perform the following orthopedic procedures
3. Robotic Spine Surgery
Pedicle screw placement
Spinal fusion
Deformity correction with minimal tissue damage
4. Robotic Shoulder Surgery
Shoulder joint replacement
Complex reconstructive procedures
5. Robotic Bone Correction Surgery
Correction of bone deformities
High precision osteotomies
Advantages of Robotic Orthopedic Surgery
Highly accurate implant placement
Reduced damage to surrounding tissues
Less blood loss
Reduced postoperative pain
Faster recovery and rehabilitation
Improved joint function and longevity of implants
Lower risk of revision surgery
Limitations and Patient Selection
Robotic orthopedic surgery may not be suitable for all patients. Severe bone loss, infection, complex trauma cases, or certain anatomical variations may require conventional surgical methods. Proper patient selection, imaging, and surgeon expertise are critical for successful outcomes.
