COMPUTER ASSISTED HIP RESURFACING

   Computer assisted Hip resurfacing is the new innovation in Hip Resurfacing. It makes the surgery more accurate and précised. Computer navigation helps the surgeon to implant the femoral prosthesis more accurate position. This reduces the incidence of fracture neck femur following surgery and increases the survival of the Resurfacing.

   When computer navigation is used the femoral prosthesis placed accurately very close to the ideal position in the femoral head. This highly reduces the chance of femoral neck fracture.

Dr.G.Balasubramanian underwent training in computer assisted Hip Resurfacing in St.Albert Hospital Melbourne Australia.

MINIMALLY INVASIVE HIP RESURFACING

   Hip Resurfacing in true sense is a minimally bone invasive surgery. The femoral canal is not invaded and only the exposed femoral head is resurfaced. This help very much to reduce the complications like fat embolism in the blood stream. This is also less traumatic surgery than Hip Replacemenr which helps fast recovery of the patient from the surgery.

   Nowadays we do hip resurfacing through small incision. This is achived because of more experience of the surgeon and innovative dedicated instruments. This helps to achive smaller and cosmetic skin incision. This also helps patient to recover fast from surgery and early discharge from the hospital.
