the New technologies Transforming the field of medicine by making it more accessible Advanced treatments And specify Diagnosis. In addition to improving patients’ quality of life, they are redefining how medicine is practiced.

On this basis, the platform reached… Argentina Combines advanced robotics with 3D images To work Hip replacements and Orthopedic knee surgeries With unprecedented precision: Surgical robot arm.

Surgical robot arm is on the verge First robotic technology Which can be applied across the entire joint replacement line, including total hip, knee and partial knee replacements. The system combines three exclusive components.

1. Planning based on 3D computed tomography (CT).
2. Haptic technology provides auditory, visual and tactile feedback to assist surgeons during the intervention, as planned.
3. Smart data analysis.

This platform allows surgeons to be creative Personal surgical plans We perform interventions with unprecedented precision, dramatically improving patient outcomes. Likewise, it enables More accurate and safer surgeries.

“He completed the first robotic arm-assisted hip replacement in Argentina It was an amazing experience“First class precision achieved in surgery.” Jorge A. Ortega Traverso (MN.65683), Hip Consultant in the Orthopedics and Traumatology Service at Sanatorio Finochietto and Director of @CaderaHipcenter.

He added: “You have to understand that this is new in Argentina, but It has already been installed in 43 countries, and there are more than 1.5 million people who have undergone operations with this technology. “I think it will be implemented gradually first in some private sanatoriums, but I think in the future there should be some sanatoriums in public places.”

Optimal surgical procedures

A study published in “Journal of joint surgery“Determine that the robot achieved A Optimal alignment In it 94% of knee surgeriesCompared to 80% in traditional surgeries. This means less risk of implant displacement and a faster recovery.

For him Partial knee replacementThe system is a treatment option designed to relieve pain caused by joint degeneration due to… Osteoporosis Which has not yet progressed to the three parts of the knee.

Finally, regarding replacement Total hipRobotic arm-assisted surgery is an alternative treatment for adults with degenerative hip joint disease. The results indicate a Greater bone preservation Compared to traditional surgery.
