Dr Vinay Tantuway at Arthros Clinic, Indore, is an experienced orthopedic surgeon who has developed an ingenious technique for revision joint replacement surgery.

The technique involves the use of advanced imaging technology, computer-assisted planning, and robotic assistance to ensure greater accuracy and precision during surgery.

Revision joint replacement is a complex surgical procedure that involves the removal and replacement of a previously implanted artificial joint that has failed or is causing discomfort. The procedure is usually necessary when the initial joint replacement surgery has not provided the desired outcome, or when the implanted joint has worn out or loosened over time.

During revision joint replacement surgery, Dr Tantuway first evaluates the extent of damage to the affected joint using advanced imaging techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRI. He then plans the surgery using computer-assisted software that provides a 3D model of the affected joint. This allows him to accurately plan the placement of the new joint, including the size, angle, and position of the implant.

The next step in the surgery is the actual removal of the damaged or worn-out joint. Dr. Vinay Tantuway uses robotic assistance to ensure greater accuracy and precision during this process. The robotic system is able to provide real-time feedback on the location and movement of the surgical instruments, allowing Dr Tantuway to make adjustments as necessary and ensure that the new joint is placed in the correct position.

Once the old joint has been removed, Dr Tantuway prepares the bone surfaces for the new joint. This may involve the use of bone grafts or other materials to provide additional support or stability for the new joint. The new joint is then implanted using the same robotic-assisted technique, ensuring a precise fit and proper alignment.

Overall, Dr Vinay Tantuway’s ingenious technique for revision joint replacement surgery offers many benefits over traditional methods. The use of advanced imaging, computer-assisted planning, and robotic assistance allows for greater accuracy and precision during surgery, resulting in a more successful outcome for the patient. Additionally, the use of bone grafts and other materials helps to ensure that the new joint is stable and long-lasting, providing the patient with greater mobility and quality of life.
