About the procedure
Robotic assistance supports planning and positioning during joint replacement. The surgeon remains in control and uses the system to help carry out the planned procedure.
Planning your treatment
Suitability depends on the condition of the hip and the system available for the procedure. Discuss the potential benefits, limitations and usual replacement risks.
