Yes. The use of robotics for hip and knee replacements is becoming more common. For instance, the Stryker Mako robotic arm assists surgeons with performing the surgery.
Robotic-assisted surgery can help improve accuracy and control during hip or knee replacement procedures. This may help to minimize false steps, minimize surgical trauma, and potentially reduce the time needed for surgery. Additionally, the use of robotics may allow more patients to undergo these types of surgeries.
