Here's how robots are revolutionising orthopaedic procedures

Robots have long been demonised in science fiction and the public imagination by the very public that created themNevertheless doctors themselves now say that robots are capable of giving a healing touch especially in the orthopaedic sector where they can perform joint replacementOut of the several stages the surgeon performs the robot completes two crucial ones in roboticassisted joint replacement the precise cutting of the bone as well as the implants size and positioningThe lifespan of the knee replacement is determined by these two steps These procedures are nearly always exact when performed by a skilled surgeon but mistakes can happen occasionallyThe robot therefore gets rid of this mistake Although this requires further studyTo date so far all research on robotically assisted operations has demonstrated improved implant alignment and placement outcomes It remains to be seen if this translates into improved clinical results and longevity Studies that span one to three years have produced positive findings Whether this translates to better clinical outcomes and longevity is yet to be proved Shortterm studies 13 years have shown good results Anant Kumar Tiwari Professor and Head Joint Replacement Centre Sir Ganga Ram Hospital New Delhi told IANSRobotic technology has brought precision and better results to joint replacement surgery revolutionising the procedureA 3D model of the patients joint is produced using sophisticated imaging and computer algorithms enabling customised surgical planningThis accuracy lowers the possibility of human error enhances joint function and lessens pain following surgeryBecause robotic technologies enable realtime alterations every surgery may be tailored to meet the specific demands of the patientRobotic systems will continue to improve joint replacement care as long as breakthroughs in technology are madeRobotic technology has revolutionised joint replacement surgery by providing precision and improved outcomes Advanced imaging and computer algorithms create a 3D model of the patients joint allowing personalised surgical planning This precision reduces human error improves joint function and reduces postoperative pain Robotic systems also allow realtime adjustments ensuring each surgery is tailored to the patients unique needs As advancements continue robotic systems will continue to elevate joint replacement care Atul Mishra Senior Director Orthopaedics Fortis Hospital Noida told IANSOverall this is the age of technology where anything can happen but it is good as long as anything involves things like theseAlso ReadMedical experts unravel the role of artificial intelligence in early cancer diagnosisThis story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed agencies Midday accepts no responsibility or liability for its dependability trustworthiness reliability and data of the text Midday managementmiddaycom reserves the sole right to alter delete or remove without notice the content in its absolute discretion for any reason whatsoever
