MAKO Robotic Total Hip Replacement

Description

This video transcript features Dr. David Mayman at the Hospital for Special Surgery as he details the process of a robotic-assisted primary total hip arthroplasty. Dr. Mayman begins by discussing the patient's condition—osteoarthritis in both hips—and the pre-operative plan based on X-ray analysis, including the sizes of the required components for the hip replacement. The narrative then transitions into preparation for surgery and the utilization of 3D models and impingement modeling with the aid of a CT scan, highlighting the importance of precise measurements to prevent post-operative complications.



As the surgery progresses, Dr. Mayman demonstrates the steps of the operation, including the use of reamers, checking for leg length and offset measurements, and ensuring proper implementation of the acetabular and femoral components. He emphasizes the significance of assessing impingement during different hip positions and making adjustments accordingly to ensure optimal hip mechanics. The procedure culminates in the fitting of the prosthetic components while maintaining proper orientation and stability, all meticulously guided by robotic assistance. The overall focus of the video is on enhancing surgical accuracy and efficiency through advanced technology in orthopedic surgery.
