“Innovation creates tomorrow and tomorrow is here today. And that’s true when it comes to robotic hip replacement and robotic surgery in general,” asserts Ghassan Boghosian, DO, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon, Eisenhower Desert Orthopedic Center.

He also points out that hip replacement surgeries have been performed for a very long time, beginning back in the ‘60s. And while they are one of the most successful surgeries being performed in the world today, there have been a lot of very favorable changes that make the outcomes better than ever with more satisfied patients and improved quality of life.

A lot has changed in the technology supporting hip replacement surgery in the last decade or two. It helps to put these technical changes, particularly robotic surgery for hip replacement, in context. Understanding key underlying causes requiring replacement surgery and approaches – including non-surgical solutions – is helpful.

In this episode of the Health Insights blog, Boghosian provides a first-class overview of what leads up to the decision to undergo hip replacement surgery and a great overview of how robotic assisted hip surgery works, including:

• Arthritis
• Locations of pain
• Loss of motion
• 7:1 weight ratio
• Non-surgical solutions
• Conventional hip replacement surgery
• Robotic hip replacement surgery

Once you watch this video, you’ll understand why the medical community is so excited about robotic assisted hip replacement surgery and you’ll be much better informed to make decisions about your health and that of your loved ones.
