Smart implants knee replacement: The medical field is progressing on the day. Now better treatment is possible through new technical methods. New technology is also being used to treat Joint Replacement. Now the treatment of joint replacement is not the same as before. Today's new technology has become much easier, safe and effective than before with the arrival of smart robotics and smart implants.
Dr. Ramnik Mahajan, Chairman (Orthopedics- Joint Replacement and Chief Robotic Joint Replacement Max Smart Super Specialty Hospital, Saket) Told that - With the help of 3D CT scan in this technique, doctors already plan full surgery and the robotic arm guides them during the operation, which makes bone cutting and implanting in the right way. Smart implants are of special design that follow the natural movement of human joints and last long. This provides facilities such as small incision, low pain, low blood flow, quick walking facility and discharge in 24 hours.
Dr. Ramnik Mahajan He further stated that this technique is under the entire control of the doctor and is becoming a new standard of orthopedic surgery in future. Smart robotics and smart implants are now taking orthopedic surgery to a new level. Patients are now getting relief from pain, start walking quickly and the age of couples is also increasing. This technique will be even better in future and can change the lives of many people.
In this process, CT scan of the patient's joint is first done. This gives the doctor a 3D picture of the joint, so that he already plans the surgery space. Robotic arm guides the doctor during surgery and also helps in cutting bone and implanting. This keeps the balance and alignment of the joint perfect and the result of surgery is good for a long period.
The implant (new artificial bone) with robotic joint replacement is called smart implant. This does not mean that they have chip, but their design is made very sensible in such a way that it is very close to the natural movement of human joints. These are specially designed for robotic technology, so that the fitting is perfect. The advantage of this is that the implant that is installed lasts for a long time and the patient gets quick relief.
With the help of this technique, doctors can now do surgery with very small cuts, which causes less damage to the body and also reduces pain. Blood flow is reduced, there is no need to put stitches because now such wounds come to the materials which dissolve themselves. Many patients start walking 4 hours after surgery and can go home in 24 hours. This means that staying in the hospital is also less and coming back in routine life quickly.
These robots do not do surgery themselves, but doctors are under control at every step. The robotic arm simply guides them and helps to work accurately. This can cause exactly perfect surgery according to the body of every patient, which was not possible earlier.
