The complete procedure of Total Hip Arthroplasty explained

Introduction: Total Hip Arthroscopy, also known as Total Hip replacements, treats hip-related problems. Although it may have become a widespread procedure in contemporary times, Total Hip Replacement is still very delicate. There are still complications, the risk of needing limb lengthening or shortening surgery, and damaged joints. However, surgical planning and preparation are a great way to prevent these episodes and are highly recommended for achieving correct personalized hip replacement. 

Robotic hip replacement is a speciality of Y.K. Orthopaedics.

But things have changed significantly since then, and the success rate is much higher. This has happened because of implementing a new process known as templating. 

Templating has been proven as no less than a winning formula for the T.H.A. technique and its fundamentals. Templating allows surgeons to do preoperative physical exam analysis. With the help of templating, T.H.A. surgeons can consider the implant size and cut and move the fragments to determine the surgery’s final result. 

Y.K. Orthopaedics has achieved a comprehensive provision & coverage of Orthopaedics, including knee replacement after A.C.L. reconstruction.

A skillfully performed T.H.A. considers all three dimensions and preoperative planning software, making the process easier. Let’s understand the step-by-step approach to templating in total hip replacement

Limb Length Discrepancy (L.L.D.): The transtibial line measures leg length differences.

Centre of rotation: The position of the acetabular component should reproduce the anatomical centre of rotation of the femoral head. Acetabular and femoral component positioning should mimic average autonomy.

Femoral Offset: Femoral Offset is the distance from the centre of rotation of the femoral head to a line dissecting the long axis of the femur. 

Now, let’s study performing total hip replacement automatically.

An automatic template for hip arthroplasty can be performed using a hybrid environment with a C.T. scan. The desired implants are placed based on the previously defined landmark of the procedure. At our facility, we achieve state-of-the-art delivery for orthopaedic procedures, including robotic hip replacement.

To begin with, the surgeon first needs to perform a cut of the femur. The automatic template detects the cup that better matches the femoral head diameter and places it in the planning view, which can be adjusted on the configuration window. Then, based on the component of the cup, the compatible insert and the femoral head are added and automatically repositioned. 

Rotator cuff surgery: a provision at Y.K. Orthopaedics.

Proximal femoral resection and alignment of the cup, liner, head, and stem components can be performed in real-time. 

With more than 12 years of experience in orthopaedics, Dr. Yagul Kakhar has successfully studied the art of executing T.H.A. and learned new methods and techniques for performing it. With his knowledge and expertise in surgery, he ensures that all his patients can recover quickly, including for superpath hip replacement.Conclusion: Recent developments, technology, and new methods have made Total Hip Arthroscopy much easier and safer than ten years ago. Y.K. Orthopaedics has the equipment and training to provide safe surgery to all its patients.
