Hip joint replacement via robotic technology adds precision and ensures a better implant position in the patient.
Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India] Novemvber 4: Dr. Narayan Hulse, a leading orthopaedic surgeon and Director of Orthopaedics & Senior Joint Replacement Surgeon at Fortis Hospital, offers Direct Anterior Hip Robotic Surgery at his clinic in Bangalore. He is the first orthopaedic surgeon in India to perform hip replacement via the Robotic Direct Anterior Approach.
Hip joint replacement via robotic technology adds precision and ensures a better implant position in the patient. In addition to this advantage, the other benefits include an improved range of motion, reduced risk of dislocation, and faster rehabilitation. If suitable, it is a preferred treatment option for hip replacement.
Dr. Narayan Hulse states, 'Overcoming the issues related to a damaged hip joint by performing a Direct Anterior Hip Robotic Surgery is a reliable and recommended option. Moreover, it is a minimally invasive surgery with higher possibilities of better outcomes. Patients have experienced a better and improved lifestyle after this surgery. Not only does it improve the mobility of the hip joint, but it helps patients to regain their independent living style'.
Ms. Vishaka Goyal, co-founder of ClinicSpots, a doctor discovery and healthcare platform, asserts Dr Hulse's expertise in performing Direct Anterior Hip Robotic surgery. He is one of the few highly accomplished orthopaedic surgeons who seek and adapt the latest innovative robotic technology to perform hip joint replacement surgery.
Dr Hulse opines that a minimally invasive procedure with a direct anterior approach in hip replacement is superior to conventional surgery. The surgeon can access and work between the muscles without cutting them, implying less damage to the muscles, less post-operative pain, and speedy recovery.
Hip replacement surgery via direct anterior approach provides a better and magnified view of the hip joint, enabling the operating surgeon to place the implant more precisely for better outcomes. Most orthopaedic surgeons recommend this approach to patients wishing to return sooner to normalcy as seamlessly as possible.
People with damaged hip joints experience pain when moving around, walking, climbing, and even sitting for long periods. They may limp and even experience stiffness in the hip joint. They complain of pain and discomfort even during sleep and, hence, disturbed sleep.
Explaining the procedure of hip joint replacement surgery using the direct anterior approach, he states the surgeon uses highly advanced imaging software to assess the damaged hip joint and plan the surgery. He also evaluates and decides the most suitable location for placing the prosthetic hip joint in the patient. The surgeon makes a small incision on the front of the hip and uses the robotic arm to position and insert the prosthetic hip joint, viewing the surgical site on the screen, ensuring its accurate placement, and then closing the incision.
He refers to the testimonial of a 65-year-old patient who approached him for hip joint replacement surgery. She was experiencing significant deterioration in the hip joint, had developed a limping gait, and also complained of consistent hip pain throughout the day and even in sleep. Upon examination, Dr. Hulse recommended joint replacement surgery via the direct anterior approach, which she reluctantly agreed to. But after the procedure, she experienced a speedy recovery and could move around generally without support.
Upon her visit to Dr. Hulse after her recovery, she was pleased and ecstatically stated, 'I am enjoying my new lease of life. I feel active and energetic like I am in my twenties. I can accomplish many tasks for which I had to seek someone's help. Hats off to Dr. Hulse, an expert joint replacement specialist who has done an excellent hip joint replacement procedure for me! Thank you, Dr. and God Bless!
Conclusion
The direct anterior approach in hip joint replacement is a proven procedure with good outcomes. Dr. Hulse promotes this procedure to ensure precision in the placement of the prosthetic hip joint so that patients can walk comfortably and pain-free. A minimally invasive procedure with significantly less post-procedure trauma, the direct anterior approach in hip joint replacement is one of the most preferred solutions for treating damaged hip joints.
