Robotic Orthopaedic Surgery at Ipswich Hospital

Robotic arm-assisted surgery provides patients with a personalised surgical plan for joint replacement surgery.

The state-of-the-art Mako® robotic arm system works alongside the surgeon from the pre-surgery planning stage through to assisting during surgery, helping to improve the accuracy and precision of the procedure.

Before surgery, a personalised 3D model is created from the patient’s CT scan, allowing the exact size and orientation of the hip or knee implant to be planned. During the operation, the robotic arm guides the surgeon according to the customised pre-surgery plan, helping to reduce the risk of surgical errors in bone preparation and implant placement.
