What is Robotic Hip Replacement
A robotic hip replacement is same as a conventional hip replacement. Your surgeon removes damaged tissue in your hip joint and replaces it with an artificial joint. The difference is that it's done with assistance from a robotic arm or handheld robotic device .
What is Robotic Hip Replacement ?
A hip replacement is a common type of surgery where a damaged hip joint is replaced with an artificial one (known as an implant). Adults of any age can be considered for a hip replacement, although most are done on people between the ages of 60 and 80.
Mako Hip Replacements
If your orthopaedic surgeon recommends a Mako hip replacement procedure, the first step is to take pictures of your hip joint that will be used to plan your surgery. . These CT Scan images are so precise that your surgeon can determine the best approach pre operatively. The scans take into account your bone structure, the alignment of your hip joint, and surrounding tissues. This helps your surgeon plan every step of your surgery, including picking the best implant size, location and positioning. When it is time for your Mako hip replacement, your surgeon will use tracking pins along your knee and hip that help the robot "see" your anatomy. Then, the Mako arm will position itself according to those measurements, and your surgeon will use the robotic tool throughout the procedure. The surgery is not done by the robot. Instead, it acts as a guide, helping your surgeon follow the plan laid out in advance. This means more precise incisions, optimal positioning, and in many cases, a better and faster recovery. After your surgery, your surgeon and the rest of your care team will monitor your progress, help to relieve discomfort, and chart a course for your at-home recovery.

Why Does it Happen?
Hip replacement surgery is most commonly performed to address severe pain caused by osteoarthritis. Walking, , and getting in and out of chairs are all common challenges for those who need hip replacement surgery.
Recovery Rate
The Mako uses more precise incisions and helps achieve optimal joint alignment, which may lead to a better and faster recovery. After your surgery, your surgeon and the rest of your care team will monitor your progress, help to relieve discomfort, and chart a course for your at-home recovery.
Why Does it Happen?
Hip replacement surgery is usually necessary when the hip joint is worn or damaged so that your mobility is reduced and you are in pain even while resting. The most common reason for hip replacement surgery is osteoarthritis. Other conditions that can cause hip joint damage include: rheumatoid arthritis.

Causes
Hip replacement surgery is usually necessary when the hip joint is worn or damaged so that your mobility is reduced and you are in pain even while resting.
Symptoms
- rheumatoid arthritis.

Diagnosis
- Your testing will include a medical evaluation, blood samples, electrocardiogram, stress test,X ray of the hip joint, chest X-ray and urine sample. The tests will tell us if your body is ready for surgery or if you have any conditions that may need special attention before moving forward.

Risks & Complications
Like in any normal surgeries ,the active robotic-assisted system has increased risks of nerve damage and infection as well as increasing blood loss and surgical time during both knee and hip replacement surgeries.
Benefits of Robotic Hip Replacement compared to Coventional Hip Replacement
Specialized 3-D CT Scan images are taken in preparation for and during surgery. These images help your surgeon more accurately plan the optimal type and placement of your replacement joint to ensure the right size and fit.
Robotic technologies enhance your orthopaedic surgeon’s expertise for more precise planning, tissue removal and implant placement. This can cause faster recovery times, fewer complications and a lower likelihood of revision surgery.
With robotic technology, your surgeon is able to better align and position your knee implant. This helps ensure a more natural-feeling joint replacement and create less friction and wear on your new joint.

When to consult a doctor ?
Consult your Orthopedician as soon as you experience :
- Pain in hip joint
- Difficulty in walking, climbing stairs
- Difficulty in doing day to day activities like sitting crossleged and squating
- Pain or disability not responsive to conservative treatments
- Age related degenerative Osteoarthritis(OA)
- Post-traumatic arthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis(RA) (hronic, progressive autoimmune disease )
- Avascular necrosis(AVS) (blood flow to the hip bone is interrupted or reduced)
- Hip dysplasia (condition when the acetabulum (the socket in the pelvis into which the femoral head fits) is too shallow to support the femoral head (the ball-shaped bone at the top of the femur or thigh bone)

Insurance coverage
Insurance does cover the cost of the surgical procedure for a hysterectomy performed due to adenomyosis because it is on the list of procedures that are "medically required." The cost capping, however, may change from instance to case. Please get your healthcare or insurance company to validate this.
Insurance coverage
Yes, insurance covers the surgical treatment cost for hysterectomy done because of adenomyosis as it falls under the ‘medically necessary’ list of treatments. However, the cost capping may vary from case to case. Please confirm the same from your healthcare or insurance provider.
Frequently Asked Questions
The average age in the robotic group was 66 years (46-87 years).
Robotic assisted surgery performed by the surgeon. Robot is used to assist the surgeon in preoperative planning and intraoperative execution of replacement of the joint.
It is not a minimal incision surgery but incision is less than conventional surgery.
Yes. It is FDA approved. It is called MAKO . It is technically superior to other robotic systems which are currently available.
Traditional surgeries are bound to get human errors , which is beeing nullified with the use if robotic assisted surgery.
It gives precise alignment of implants for the betterment of patient and longivity of implants
Robotic assisted surgery is less invasive than conventional surgery therfore pain is less and recovery is faster. Patient will be discharged in a few days depending on the condition/co-morbidities of the patient.
Pain is less compared to conventional surgery
There will be a scar but scar reduces over a period of time.
Post operatively patient is made to immediately.
Assistance may be needed in the beginning after discharge for his day to day activities like going to the bathroom.
Yes rehabilitation will start immediately after surgery and that extends till they are completely independent. This take a few days.
There is no risk in robotic surgery
It is done to knee, hip and shoulder
Success rate is 100%
