AI, in addition to robotics, are revolutionising joint replacement in so many ways. They offer incomparable accuracy, customisation and competence, which further leads to conforming and precise fit of the implant, minimal damage to the tissue, swift recovery and successful, prolonged outcomes via real-time instructions, 3D groundwork and information analysis. This helps in enhancing the surgical ultraprecision and patient-centric care.  The technologies, such as AI and robotics, strengthen the skills of the surgeon instead of replacing them. This helps in building a minimally invasive and more persistent experience. 

Robotics and joint replacement 

  • Customised treatment — 
  1. Analytic-led decision making: AI learning assists in predicting risks, such as transmission needs, which support better treatment protocols. 
  2. Patient-centred plan: AI helps in analysing the data of the patient for customising the size, positioning, as well as the type of the implant, despite following the approach which says one-size-fits-all. 
  • Accuracy and ultraprecision — 
  1. Robotic instructions: The real-time rating and response, in addition to stability, are provided by the robots. Furthermore, it helps in osteotomy and positioning of the implant with infinitesimal accuracy, thereby diminishing human trembling. 
  2. 3D Mapping: From scans, AI assists in generating detailed 3D models, thereby permitting the surgeons to work out and execute the surgery virtually, which helps in optimising implant positioning. 
  • Improved efficiency — 
  1. Data Blending: Across the process of surgery, the decisions which are based on evidence are supported by AI, from choosing to post-operative monitoring. 
  2. Reliable outcomes: Consistent accuracy is ensured via robotic systems, which helps in enhancing the success rates of the procedure. 
  • Successful and positive patient outcomes — 
  1. Swift recovery: Swift recovery and prompt rehabilitation are achieved through tiny incisions, minimal impeding of soft tissue and accurate alignment. It helps in returning to activities as well. 
  2. Minimum pain: Minimum post-operative pain is the result of the improved alignment and less damage to the tissue. 
  3. Fewer complications: The complications and risks related to the systemic issues are reduced with the help of higher precision. Also, it lessens the risk of implant revision, thereby enhancing the longevity of the implant. 

The way forward 

  • Polished algorithms: Long-term performance of the implant, in addition to the satisfaction of the patient, will be predicted by the future AI more precisely. 
  • Augmented reality: More advanced environments for surgery can be created by merging with AR/VR. 
  • Unassisted features: Automated actions can be enabled through AI for enhanced productivity, accuracy as well as  precision during the process of surgery. 

Conclusion 

AI and Robotics are setting a new precedent of care, thereby minimising the risks and complications associated with joint replacement. They offer treatment tailored to the needs of the individuals. Ortho derma Clinic offers a wide range of treatments, ranging from effective medication to robotic surgery. Dr Shekhar set up this clinic with the view to help people get the best orthopaedic treatment. Specialising in the field of orthodontics, he provides the treatment with the assistance of AI in order to ensure precision and innovative decision-making. 

FAQs 

Q1: Does AI help in predicting the risks of Joint replacement? 

A: Yes, AI helps in predicting complications as well as risks of Joint Replacement. 

Q2: Is the surgery performed by the robot? 

A: No, the human surgeon performs the joint replacement surgery with the assistance of a robot, which provides real-time feedback and guides cuts, which helps in the reduction of damage to the soft tissue. 

Q3: Does robotic surgery take longer than normal surgery? 

A: No, the effective and efficient robotic surgery takes less time than the normal surgery, but the duration may vary according to the condition of the individual.
