This blog brings the permanent solution that Fortis Hospitals offer in orthopedic and joint replacement, including the expected cost of this treatment.
Robotic joint replacement is a significant evolution that’s a step above traditional orthopedic surgery. Instead of relying on manual surgical instruments, the procedure uses advanced robotic systems that assist the surgeon in each step, with exceptional accuracy.
Robotic Joint Replacement at Fortis Hospital work in the following manner:
Pre-operative planning with the help of 3D model of your joint that is created from imaging CT/MRI, allowing personalized alignment and sizing of implants.
During surgery, the robotic arm guides the surgical tools based on the above plan, allowing sub-milimeter precision in bone cuts and implant positioning.
Preservation of healthy tissue with the help of robots that help unnecessary bone or tissue removal. This also preserves the joint’s natural structure wherever possible. It also helps improve function and longevity.
