Himchan Hospital Releases the Process of Increasing the likelihood of Robotic Artificial Joint Surgery on YouTube
Apr 18, 2025
Through the YouTube channel 'Suchan's Joint Talk', Himchan Hospital presented a solution to cases that required artificial joint surgery but were not possible for various reasons.
'S Joint Talk' is a segment created to deliver accurate and honest information that patients are really curious about and can receive practical help amid numerous medical information.
CEO of Himchan Hospital Lee Soo-chan and orthopedic surgeon Baek Ji-hoon 'Operations that were not possible before...Under the theme of 'Okay for robots', it introduced cases that were difficult to apply with general artificial joint surgery methods, and recently unveiled the process of successful surgery using robots.
Patients who have undergone bone surgery around the knee due to traffic accidents or trauma may have deformities in the bone structure. When such patients develop degenerative arthritis and require artificial joint surgery, it is difficult in the existing way. During artificial joint surgery, a guide for cutting should be inserted into the bone, because this guide cannot be used if the bone structure is deformed. Therefore, in the past, there were cases where artificial joint surgery was not possible.
In the case of a male patient in his 70s, he had a history of surgery for a fracture of the distal right femur 40 years ago, and his knee was bent due to bone deformation. Knee pain, which started five years ago, has recently become severe and he wanted surgery, but several hospitals have been diagnosed with too much bone deformation to make artificial joint surgery difficult.
Fortunately, Baek Ji-hoon successfully underwent artificial joint surgery on the robot knee, and a case of living a healthy life without knee pain was introduced.
Lee Soo-chan, president of Himchan Hospital, said, "If the bone is deformed anatomically and structurally, it is difficult to perform general artificial joint surgery. Robotic surgery can be performed by carefully planning the size, insertion location, and cutting range of the artificial joint based on data converted into 3D stereoscopic images after taking a CT scan of the patient's knee."
In addition, a robotic surgery solution for a patient who was unable to perform artificial joint surgery due to a different length of both legs and a long period of time after undergoing surgery for a broken leg in a car accident 30 years ago will be unveiled on the 18th. In addition, the specific advantages of robotic artificial joint surgery compared to general artificial joint surgery are introduced in more detail.
