Augmented Reality Hip Replacement

Augmented reality hip replacement is an advanced surgical technique that combines cutting-edge technology with precision in joint replacement. During this procedure, surgeons use augmented reality, similar to what’s seen in video games and virtual reality, to enhance their view of the patient’s hip in real-time. This technology provides a detailed 3D image of the hip joint, allowing for more accurate placement of implants and alignment during surgery. Augmented reality aids surgeons in optimizing the fit and positioning of the hip implants, which may lead to improved outcomes. Patients undergoing augmented reality hip replacement should expect less risk of complications such as the hip popping out of the socket (dislocation) or one leg ending up longer than the other.
