Total Hip Replacement (THR) can now be performed using a computer guided robotic arm for assistance. The robotic arm acts as a guide to help the surgeon’s accuracy; the surgeon still performs the procedure and inserts the implants. This is useful technology to optimise results and outcomes and help with precision of implant position and leg length. Joint Reaction surgeons have experience in performing this surgery and can discuss this technique with you to determine the best option for your hip replacement. This is not necessary in all cases but has some advantages. The hip replacement itself is the same top rated implant we use in conventional hip replacement – it is the surgical technique that varies. If you opt for robotic assisted hip replacement you do not have to prepare or rehab afterwards in any different way from a conventional THR and can fully weight bear after surgery.
