The private clinic Hospiten Lanzarote has incorporated into its surgeries for the placement of knee prostheses real-time software that provides an improvement in the final alignment of the implant. This technology guarantees a faster recovery.
Navigated arthroplasty reduces the overall revision rate, that is, the need to replace the implants in the future, which guarantees maximum durability and reliability in the placement of the implant.
Navigated surgery is indicated for any patient since the computer allows generating a virtual image that guides the surgeon to the millimeter and places the margin of error below 0.01%.
As stated by Dr. Borja Segarra, specialist in Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology at Hospiten, "sometimes it seems that technology in medicine cannot be applied to everyone, but the truth is that, in this circumstance, difficult operations are the ones that benefit the most from this type of surgery." In addition, he insists that the main advantage is a better alignment and balance of the components that are implanted.
Other benefits include reduced bleeding during surgeries and faster recovery. The Hospiten specialist points out that this surgery is capable of offering the patient a "much more modern and effective" alternative. He concludes that "patients are satisfied with the results, and highlights that this aspect is good for both parties, both for them and for the surgeon."
