Robotic-Assisted Hip Replacement – What You Need to Know

Hip replacement surgery has evolved significantly over the past decade, and robotic technology is leading the way in improving precision and patient outcomes. At Pinnacle Orthopaedic Specialists, we use advanced robotic-assisted systems to help deliver the best possible results for patients requiring hip replacement surgery.

What is Robotic-Assisted Hip Replacement?

Robotic-assisted hip replacement is not a fully automated process. Instead, it combines the expertise of your surgeon with the accuracy of robotic technology. The surgeon remains in complete control throughout the procedure, using the robotic system as a tool to plan and guide the operation with exceptional precision.

Why Use Robotic Technology?

Every patient’s anatomy is unique. Robotic assistance allows your surgeon to create a personalised surgical plan based on a 3D model of your hip. During surgery, the robotic system helps ensure the implant is placed in the most optimal position, which can lead to:

• Improved accuracy in implant positioning

• Reduced risk of complications such as dislocation

• Enhanced joint function and mobility

• Potential for faster recovery and improved long-term outcomes

Who Might Need Hip Replacement Surgery?

Hip replacement is typically recommended for patients with severe hip pain or damage caused by conditions such as:

• Osteoarthritis

• Rheumatoid arthritis

• Hip fractures

• Avascular necrosis

• Other degenerative joint diseases

What to Expect

While the use of robotics adds precision, the key to success remains the skill and experience of your orthopaedic surgeon. At Pinnacle Orthopaedic Specialists, our team is highly trained in the latest surgical techniques, including robotic-assisted procedures.
