Orthopaedic surgery has seen tremendous advancements in recent years, offering patients quicker recovery times, reduced pain and improved outcomes. At Agile Ortho, we stay at the forefront of these innovations to provide our patients with the best possible care. In this post, we’ll explore some of the latest advancements in orthopaedic surgery, including new technologies and minimally invasive procedures.
Minimally Invasive Orthopaedic Surgery: A Game Changer
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has revolutionised the field of orthopaedics. These procedures use smaller incisions, leading to less tissue damage, reduced scarring and faster recovery times compared to traditional open surgeries. At Agile Ortho, our surgeons use cutting-edge techniques for hip and knee replacements, allowing patients to get back on their feet sooner and with less pain.
Robotic-Assisted Surgery: Precision at Its Best
One of the most exciting advancements in orthopaedic surgery is the rise of robotic-assisted procedures. Robot-assisted knee surgery is a prime example, where surgeons use a robotic arm to perform precise cuts and implant placements. This technology ensures accuracy down to the millimetre, leading to better alignment, longer-lasting implants, and improved patient outcomes. At Agile Ortho, our team of specialists, including Dr Matthew Foster, uses this technology to provide patients with highly personalised, accurate treatment.
The Role of Biologics in Orthopaedic Healing
In addition to advancements in surgical techniques, biologic treatments are becoming an integral part of orthopaedic care. Biologics, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell therapy, use the body’s own cells to promote healing. These treatments can accelerate recovery from injuries like tendon tears or cartilage damage and may even delay the need for surgery.
At Agile Ortho, we are proud to embrace the latest advancements in orthopaedic surgery, from minimally invasive procedures to robotic-assisted technologies. These innovations allow us to provide our patients with safer, more effective treatments, ensuring faster recovery and better long-term outcomes.
