Exploring Computer Navigation in Knee and Hip Replacement

Category: Health

In the realm of orthopedic surgery, technology has made remarkable strides, revolutionizing procedures and patient outcomes. One such advancement is computer navigation, often a “small GPS” that the surgeon uses during a knee replacement procedure. It employs infrared technology to ‘correctly align the components,’ allowing the surgeon to devise and carry out a surgical plan with minimal tissue disruption and bone removal. The Procedure Behind Computer-Assisted: 1. Preoperative Planning: Before the surgery, detailed imaging scans, such as CT scans or MRIs, are obtained to create a precise three-dimensional model of the joint. This serves as the digital blueprint for the procedure. 2. Infrared Technology: During surgery, computer-assisted systems employ infrared technology to track the position of surgical instruments and the joint in real time. Think of it as a GPS guiding the surgeon. 3. Component Alignment: The primary goal of computer navigation is to correctly align the joint components. The system offers real-time feedback, ensuring that implant placement is precise and optimized for the individual patient. 4. Minimized Tissue Disruption: One of the key advantages is minimal tissue disruption and bone removal. Surgeons can follow a precise surgical plan, preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
