Fortius Clinic: Pioneering Robotic-Assisted Joint Replacement Surgery at Arab Health 2024
Introduction
Nestled in the heart of London’s renowned Harley Street Medical Area (HSMA), Fortius Clinic stands tall as the United Kingdom’s leading orthopaedic group, celebrated for its expertise in advanced hip and knee replacement surgery. As a testament to their unwavering commitment to innovation and patient care, Fortius Clinic will grace Arab Health 2024, a prominent healthcare exhibition and congress held in Dubai, to unveil their groundbreaking robotic technology that is revolutionizing joint replacement surgery.
Transforming Hip and Knee Replacements with Robotic Precision
Fortius Clinic proudly boasts two Mako robots, solidifying its position as one of London’s largest Mako clinics. This cutting-edge robotic technology has transformed the landscape of hip and knee replacements, empowering patients to experience a swifter recovery, enhanced accuracy, and a more predictable surgical journey.
The advantages of robotic-assisted joint replacement surgery are manifold. Patients reap the benefits of shorter operating times, reduced hospital stays, diminished pain, and accelerated recovery. Prior to surgery, patients undergo a CT scan, which is then meticulously transformed into a precise 3D virtual model of their joint. This model empowers surgeons to meticulously plan the joint replacement, including the exact dimensions of the implant required. During surgery, the robotic arm guides the surgeon with unwavering precision within a predefined area, facilitating more precise implant positioning.
The Mako robotic technology grants surgeons the ability to make minute adjustments to the implant position, down to a single degree or millimeter. This remarkable precision has a profound impact on patient outcomes, enabling surgeons to implant the joint replacement with utmost confidence. Full knee replacement surgery, facilitated by the Mako robot, typically takes approximately one hour, with patients encouraged to walk soon after the procedure. This minimally invasive approach minimizes time spent on the operating table, contributing to a swifter recovery.
Addressing the Growing Demand for Orthopaedic Surgery
As populations age globally and the prevalence of chronic pain conditions continues its relentless rise, the demand for orthopaedic surgery to alleviate chronic pain is escalating. In 2023 alone, Europe and the United Kingdom witnessed over 37,000 Mako-assisted procedures. The Middle East, with its rapidly aging population, is projected to experience a significant surge in the number of individuals requiring surgical interventions for chronic joint pain. By 2050, the region’s population aged 60 and above is anticipated to more than double, and by 2100, it is expected to more than triple.
Fortius Clinic: A Leader in Orthopaedic Excellence
Fortius Clinic’s chief executive officer, Jim McAvoy, expressed his enthusiasm for participating in Arab Health 2024, stating, “Surgery is undergoing a transformative evolution, and robotic-assisted joint replacement surgeries are widely recognized as one of the most advanced surgical procedures. We are thrilled to be part of the HSMA delegation at this year’s Arab Health to showcase this groundbreaking innovation that dramatically transforms hip and knee joint replacement surgery, providing patients access to the latest in state-of-the-art robotic surgery.”
