Qilu Network Lightning News June 23 news Technology leads progress. On June 23, following the completion of the first full-length hip replacement surgery in Shandong Province, the Orthopedic Hospital of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University completed a record in the province - the first mako robot-assisted knee replacement surgery in Shandong Province.

At 9:00 a.m. on June 23, Professor Yu Tengbo, vice president of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, vice president of the Orthopedic Hospital, and director of the Department of Sports Medicine, began to operate on a 60-year-old osteoarthritis patient, because the patient's knee was deformed for many years, and it was difficult for experts with clinical experience to achieve 100% accuracy in the surgical replacement process. The doctor performed a KNEE CT scan and three-dimensional reconstruction for the patient before the operation, and imported the information into the Mako robot system, through computer simulation calculations, in advance for the patient to develop a personalized and precise preoperative plan, including the size of the prosthesis, the bone grinding area and the angle and position of the placement, etc., the intraoperative precise positioning, successfully completed the Mako robot-assisted knee replacement surgery, the postoperative patient felt good.
According to Yu Tengbo, vice president of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, vice president of the Orthopedic Hospital, and director of the Department of Sports Medicine, in December last year, he led the team to complete the first assisted hip replacement surgery in Shandong using the Mako robot in the hospital, and has successfully implemented more than 40 cases in half a year, all of which have achieved satisfactory surgical results and accumulated experience for knee replacement in the future.
Wang Yingzhen, chief physician of the Joint Surgery Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, told reporters that Mako robot-assisted total knee replacement surgery can achieve 3D intelligent modeling based on CT, allowing doctors to formulate personalized surgical plans before surgery. At the same time, dynamic adjustment is provided during surgery, balancing soft tissue tension, and maximizing the precision and personalization of knee surgery. Using the robot, all parameters can be accurate to 0.1 mm, which greatly improves the success rate of surgery and the patient's surgical effect is better.
The Mako robot-assisted total knee replacement surgery system launched this time was officially listed in China in May this year, and the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University is the sixth hospital in China to install and apply this advanced AI surgical robot, marking another breakthrough in AI robot-assisted orthopedic surgery of Qingdao University Affiliated Hospital, and continuing to lead the development of robot-assisted joint replacement surgery in the province. It is understood that under the leadership of Vice President Yu Tengbo, Experts and Professors such as Wang Yingzhen and Zhang Haining will complete more than 10 cases of this robot operation in 2 to 3 days. As the technology matures and becomes more widespread, more patients will benefit from it. "In the future, we also expect that domestic robots can play an irreplaceable role in orthopedic clinics, bringing more surgical convenience and benefits to patients suffering from knee and hip pain." Professor Yu Tengbo told reporters.
