Why it is important to arrange individual dolls during knee artificial joint surgery, explained on YouTube at Himchan Hospital
May 16, 2025
Through the YouTube section, Himchan Hospital informs in-depth the importance of 'individual alignment' tailored to the individual patient's knee joint structure rather than the existing uniform leg alignment.
In the video released on the 16th, CEO Lee Soo-chan and Medical Director Junghoon Lee appeared to explain the necessity of knee artificial joint surgery and the latest trends in surgery. In particular, the video emphasized that active research and discussion are taking place on the selection of the optimal location for patients when inserting artificial joints between the bones above and below the knee.
Many arthritis patients feel the burden of artificial joint surgery, but knee artificial joint surgery is inevitable if it is difficult to improve symptoms only with medication and physical therapy. The head of the Junghoon Lee Medical Center emphasized that artificial joint surgery is necessary for extreme pain caused by arthritis, structural deformation of joints, constraints on daily life, and cases where medication and physical therapy do not improve.
He then explained robot artificial joint surgery, a recent surgery trend that has attracted attention. Existing surgical methods put weight on cutting bones quickly and inserting artificial joints. When performing surgery on all patients in a uniform manner, the patient's anatomy is not considered, causing damage to the soft tissue, and after surgery, the feeling of foreign matter that is not like my knee may be felt. However, robotic surgery has the advantage of being able to insert an artificial joint in a more accurate position through figures calculated by a computer program, and allowing customized surgery tailored to each patient's characteristics.
The follow-up video, which will be released on the 21st, will cover the need for personalized surgery, the concept and advantages of individual alignment, and more in-depth content on robotic artificial joint surgery. Each patient has a different structure of knee joints, so customized surgery considering the unique anatomical characteristics of each individual is more important than the existing uniform surgery method. Personal alignment determines the location of artificial joint insertion according to the patient's original bone shape and axis and minimizes unnecessary damage to ligament tissue, so postoperative movement is natural and foreign body sensation can be reduced.
Medical director Junghoon Lee "Robot surgery can establish preoperative plans by implementing a patient's knee joint with 3D CT images, and can precisely cut bones within 0.5mm and 0.5 degrees. During artificial joint surgery, the slope of the joint line, the amount of bone cutting, and the degree of ligament manipulation vary depending on the alignment method, and if you use a robot, you can align the individual, increasing the success rate and patient satisfaction."
