Treatment discussions draw on current clinical evidence, alongside your symptoms, circumstances and preferences. NICE guidance and National Joint Registry information help inform conversations about joint replacement.
Robotic technology can support surgical planning and help guide parts of the procedure. Mr Unnithan remains responsible for the surgery and the decisions made throughout. The approach and equipment used will be explained during your consultation.
Your symptoms, examination and imaging help determine whether joint replacement is appropriate and whether robotic assistance may be suitable.
A personalised plan is developed for your joint replacement. Depending on the system used, this may include a CT scan and a three-dimensional model to support planning.
During the operation, the robotic system assists with aspects of the planned procedure under the surgeon’s control.
Your rehabilitation is tailored to your procedure and progress. You will receive guidance on movement, exercises and returning to everyday activities.
A consultant is a senior specialist doctor. Mr Unnithan focuses on the assessment and treatment of hip and knee conditions, including joint replacement.
