How the Robot Helps Install Your New Hip Socket The hip socket is the foundation of your new hip. If the cup sits at the wrong angle, your hip can feel less stable, impinge, or wear faster - making cup impaction an important few minutes of the procedure. Before... surgery, a CT scan of the pelvis builds a 3D model of your unique anatomy - we plan the cup's size, depth and angles on it. In the operating room, we seat the new cup on its impactor handle. The robotic arm's sleeve slides over that handle and holds the planned angle and positon - a green check on the screen tells us the system is locked in. From there, we tap the cup into the bone. The arm holds the angle steady with every strike, helping keep the cup from drifting as it seats. The screen reports the live cup angles against the plan, along with the remaining depth in millimeters - within one degree of the plan. Robotic guidance provides real-time measurements instead of estimates - confirming position before we commit. To be clear, the robot does not do the surgery, swing the mallet, and does not decide when the cup is seated. It guides; We decide. 👇 SHARE your robotic #hipreplacement experience & questions . #orthopedicsurgeon #roboticsurgeryshow more
