Computerized Navigation System in Joint Replacement has revolutionized Joint Replacement Surgery. Poor alignment is the most common cause of premature failure of the implant in manual Joint Replacement. New technology of computer based navigation system has completely eliminated poor alignment and made Joint Replacement surgery 100% accurate. The Computerized Navigation System (Nav-3) enables surgeons to consistently obtain results that are far more accurate than conventional methods. Dr. Ankur Goel is working on the most Advanced Navigation System for Joint Replacement by Computerized Navigation System (Nav-3) at Sri Sai Hospital Moradabad.
Since the level of accuracy is very high, it also helps in increasing the life of the implant by 20-25 years, and also reduces the blood loss to the patient. Patients who undergo this type of Surgery in our hospital are able to walk and climb stairs without assistance within a few days after surgery. The Computerized Navigation System helps the surgeon to make precise cuts and correct deformities in the knee. It also removes human errors in surgery.
Sri Sai Hospital, Moradabad uses Computerized Navigation System (Nav-3) to provide real-time, patient-specific information about patients during surgery, including infrared cameras, state-of-the-art software, due to while costly Investigations like Intensive CT and MRI Scans prior to surgery etc. does not need to be done. At the beginning of the operation, the surgeon strategically places small transmitters on the patient's leg. The surgeon then guides the foot through a series of prescribed movements, which, in turn, are recorded by the navigation's infrared camera and transmitted to a computer. The computer analyzes those positions to create an anatomical 'model' of the knee and updates this information throughout the procedure, displaying all relevant axes, angles and distances for the surgeon. Analyzing and providing this continuous data, navigation helps guide the surgeon through the bone cut, implant positioning.
