Joint Replacement Surgery Kartal

Hip replacement surgery is performed to treat problems in these structures caused by osteoarthritis (calcification), tumor, advanced age hip fracture, bone necrosis, hip dislocation and other hip joint damage. The operation is performed in two types as replacement of one (regional hip replacement) or both parts (total hip replacement). If the surgeon's experience is insufficient or the conditions of the health institution are not sufficient, if the highest quality prostheses will not be used, hip replacement is not appropriate. What are the methods applied in hip replacement? Hip replacement surgery is basically divided into two: regional and total. Regional hip replacement involves replacing only the upper end of the femur (ball) of the joint and leaving the section connected to the hip in the pelvis (socket) in place. What is total hip replacement surgery? A total hip replacement is a procedure in which damaged bone and cartilage are removed and replaced with prosthetic components. When complete, the joint parts have smooth surfaces, which greatly improves movement and reduces pain and stiffness. What methods are used for total hip replacement (arthroplasty)? Traditional and modern approaches can be preferred in hip replacement. Traditional hip replacement is performed through a single, large incision that helps the surgeon access the hip, usually from the side (lateral approach) or from the back (posterior approach).  Today, with developing technologies, generally minimally invasive modern techniques have become preferred. The most up to date of these is robotic arm-assisted prosthesis surgeries. This method is also known as robotic arthroplasty, robotic surgery, robotic prosthesis surgery and makoplasty.How is total hip replacement surgery performed? Total hip replacement surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The procedure usually takes 1 to 2 hours. 

Traditional and modern approaches can be preferred in hip replacement. Traditional hip replacement is performed with a single, large incision that helps the surgeon access the hip, usually from the side (lateral approach) or from the back (posterior approach). Recovery can take time in traditional surgery because the surgeon must cut or separate some muscles and tendons to reach the joint. (Muscles and tendons are repaired when hip replacements are placed.) There may be a risk of dislocation until all supporting structures heal.Today, with developing technologies, minimally invasive modern techniques have generally become preferred. The most up-to-date of these is robotic arm-assisted prosthesis surgeries. This method is also known as robotic arthroplasty, robotic surgery, robotic prosthesis surgery and makoplasty.What are the advantages of robotic prosthesis surgery (robotic arthroplasty) in hip replacement?With developing technologies, robotic arms have begun to be used frequently as support in joint replacements. With this technology, the operation plan can be made in a patient-specific way (for example, a three-dimensional virtual model specific to the patient's anatomy). Surgeons can work more meticulously, determine the accuracy of the prosthesis placement more clearly, and the patient can recover faster and achieve better results.The advantages of robotic surgery can be listed as follows:• Creating a personalized surgical plan and selecting the ideal prosthesis dimensions before surgery • Extending the life of the prosthesis by reducing the risk of abnormal friction of the prosthesis against the bone • More accurate adjustment of leg length equality • Minimizing errors that may occur in patients with different joint anatomy • Providing more precise operations in difficult cases due to anatomy (rheumatism, hip dislocation, etc.)

Knee prosthesis surgery, especially for patients with severe joint degeneration, is an effective method to restore mobility and alleviate pain.Traditional knee replacement involves removing the damaged cartilage and bone and replacing them with metal and plastic implants. However, advancements in robotic knee replacement surgery have revolutionized the procedure by enhancing precision. In robotic surgery, 3D imaging of the knee joint is used for detailed surgical planning, which allows for more accurate placement of implants, improving alignment and balance. The robotic arm assists the surgeon by ensuring precise cuts and placements, reducing the margin for error. This leads to less tissue damage, faster recovery, and longer-lasting prosthetic joints.  As a result, patients experience improved outcomes, fewer complications, and a quicker return to daily activities. The increasing adoption of robotic technology in orthopedic surgeries promises to advance procedures like hip, spine, and tumor surgeries in the near future.
