Artificial Joint Surgery Technology

Traditional computer-assisted surgery would require drilling the femur and tibia to attach signal transmitters, which may cause fractures at the drill sites. Some patients might experience pain at the drilled site, or infections could occur. This new technology uses a new type of signal transmitter that does not require additional drilling, reducing the disadvantages of traditional computer-assisted surgical navigation systems while maintaining the benefits of computer-assisted surgery – accurate bone cutting and prosthesis positioning which could potentially improve the longevity of the prosthesis.

Prosthesis Options

: Ceramic Hip Prosthesis

It is harder and smoother than other types of prostheses, resulting in a longer lifespan suitable for patients aged 46 – 60 years. And a new type of metal (Hyper porous metal) that can bond well with bone, resulting in a faster bone-prosthesis bonding.

: Special Substance Mixed Plastic Liner

This type of joint liner plastic contains antioxidants, including Vitamin E, which helps reduce the wear and tear of the prosthesis, decrease the chances of plastic fracture, leading to a longer lifespan of the prosthesis.

New Pain Management

: A combination of new local analgesia techniques

At the thigh region using Ultrasound to locate the nerve cavities, and lower body pain management (spinal anaesthesia) to inhibit the pain receptors from the periphery before reaching the brain. Patients will experience less pain and can move sooner, reducing the need for postoperative pain medication. This results in fewer side effects from the medication, such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, etc.
