ADVANCED COMPUTER-ASSISTED SURGERY FOR BETTER OUTCOMES
Computer-Assisted Surgery
Precision matters in joint replacement, and computer-assisted surgical systems give surgeons real-time data to make more informed decisions. This technology gathers quantifiable, real-time surgical data, allowing your surgeon to make tailored decisions to fit your unique anatomy.
Dr. Kyle Stoops, a board-certified and fellowship-trained orthopedic specialist, utilizes computer-assisted surgical technology and other minimally invasive techniques to help patients achieve the best possible outcomes.
If you're exploring options for hip or knee replacement, schedule a consultation today to learn how these advanced tools can help Dr. Stoops personalize your joint replacement surgery.
COMPUTER-ASSISTED TOTAL JOINT REPLACEMENT
The Power of Computer-Assisted Joint Replacement Technology
With this computer-assisted system, Dr. Stoops is equipped with intraoperative data on bone movement, joint alignment, and soft tissue tension that allows him to refine alignment during the procedure based on your individual knee anatomy.
Benefits of computer-assisted procedures include:
- Intraoperative Customization: Data gathered during surgery helps guide implant placement in real time.
- Patient-Specific Insight: Supports personalized decisions about alignment and soft tissue management without requiring imaging before the surgery.
- Surgeon-Controlled Technology: Rather than the computer controlling the surgery, Dr. Stoops is in the driver's seat—the system simply gives objective, live feedback to assist him in making precise and individualized adjustments.
Overall, patients benefit from a more tailored surgical approach and greater confidence in long-term outcomes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is computer-assisted surgery, and how does it work?
Computer-assisted surgery is a technique that uses computer technology to provide real-time data and 3D imaging during surgical procedures. This system helps Dr. Stoops place implants with more data, reducing the risk of misalignment, which may lead to revisions. It is especially beneficial in complex cases where precision is critical.
Does computer-assisted surgery mean the computer is doing the procedure?
No. In a computer-assisted surgery, the surgeon is in complete control at all times. The computer-assisted system is simply a tool that provides real-time data during the operation. It helps the surgeon make more informed decisions, but nothing is automated or performed by a machine.
