潍坊市中医院关节骨科手术进入“机器人时代”

Core Viewpoint - The introduction of robotic-assisted joint replacement surgeries at Weifang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital marks a significant advancement in orthopedic treatment, enhancing surgical precision and patient outcomes [1][17]. Group 1: Challenges in Traditional Surgery - Traditional joint replacement surgeries face challenges such as reliance on surgeon experience, leading to instability and insufficient precision, which results in longer recovery times and uncertain outcomes for patients [2]. Group 2: Robotic Surgery Implementation - Weifang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital has adopted a "Digital Orthopedics + Intelligent Surgery" model by introducing surgical robots, which can perform various procedures including knee and hip joint replacements, enhancing surgical precision and safety [4][17]. Group 3: Robotic Surgery Mechanism - The robotic system operates in three key stages: preoperative planning using imaging data to create a 3D bone model, intraoperative navigation to monitor tool position and force, and precise control of bone cutting and prosthetic installation [6][8][10]. Group 4: Advantages of Robotic Surgery - Higher surgical precision is achieved with errors in bone cutting and angle controlled within 0.1 mm and 0.1°, optimizing prosthetic fit and reducing complications [12] - Smaller surgical trauma is noted, leading to reduced bleeding and infection risks, thus accelerating postoperative recovery [13] - Increased personalization of surgery is possible, as the system customizes plans based on individual skeletal structures, enhancing treatment specificity [14] - Enhanced safety is provided through multiple protective mechanisms, reducing the risk of vascular and nerve damage [15].
