Recent advancements in orthopedic medicine include the increasing use of robotic-assisted surgery and regenerative medicine techniques like PRP and stem cell injections. These innovations aim to improve surgical precision, reduce recovery times, and offer non-surgical alternatives for various conditions.
Robotic-Assisted Surgery:
Robotic systems enhance precision and accuracy in procedures like total shoulder, knee and hip replacements. They offer real-time feedback and navigational aid, potentially leading to smaller incisions, less blood loss, and faster recovery. Robotic surgery can improve implant alignment and placement, optimizing joint function and longevity.
PRP Regenerative Medicine:
Techniques like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell injections are gaining traction for treating tendon injuries, arthritis, and sports injuries. These treatments stimulate the body's natural healing processes, potentially reducing the need for more invasive procedures.
