Mangaluru: AJ Hospital and Research Centre has launched the “Robot for Joint Replacement” by Smith+Nephew USA, a cutting-edge technology poised to revolutionise joint replacement surgeries. This milestone, inaugurated by Chairman Dr AJ Shetty, reaffirms the hospital’s commitment to delivering world-class healthcare.
Revolutionary Robotic Precision
The new robotic system employs advanced 3D imaging and real-time navigation, allowing surgeons to perform personalised joint replacement procedures with unmatched precision. Capable of knee, partial knee, and hip replacements, it enhances surgical outcomes and accelerates patient recovery.
Key Features of the Technology
- Personalised Surgery: Tailored procedures based on 3D anatomical models.
- Enhanced Accuracy: Ensures optimal implant positioning for better function and longevity.
- Bone Preservation: Preserves natural bones and ligaments by resurfacing joints.
- Minimal Tissue Damage: Reduces complications and accelerates recovery.
- Radiation-Free Imaging: Smart mapping eliminates CT or MRI exposure.
- Real-Time Planning: Allows intraoperative adjustments for superior precision.
- Versatility: A single system supports total hip, total knee, and partial knee surgeries.
Improved Patient Outcomes
Patients can expect shorter hospital stays, minimal blood loss, and quicker returns to daily activities. With reduced postoperative complications, the technology elevates the overall treatment experience.
A Leader in Innovation
Dr AJ Shetty remarked, “This robotic system represents the future of orthopaedic care, offering unparalleled precision and patient-centred outcomes. At AJ Hospital, we are committed to staying at the forefront of medical advancements.”
Being the first in the region to offer comprehensive robotic surgery capabilities, AJ Hospital continues to set benchmarks in healthcare. Since its inception in 2001, the hospital has been a pioneer in introducing advanced medical facilities at affordable rates, serving the people of Mangaluru and beyond.
