Himchan Hospital publishes a research paper on self-developed robot artificial joint surgical instruments in an international academic journal of SCIE level
Nov 05, 2024
An orthopedic surgery team at Himchan Hospital has published a paper in international journals that introduced the usefulness of using cutting tools to help accurately remove bones during knee artificial joint surgery using macorobots.
According to an analysis of 338 (509 cases) patients who underwent knee artificial joint surgery using Makorobots from June 2020 to May 2021, there were cases of re-cutting the femur (thigh bone) in 12 cases, which was 2.4%. Recutations occurred mainly in middle-aged male patients with hard bones.
To compensate for this, Himchan Hospital specialists are further increasing the success rate of surgery by developing and applying surgical instruments that make bone resection easier while maintaining accuracy and safety, which are advantages of robotic surgery. The self-developed surgical instrument acquired a domestic patent (No. 10-2652930) and an international patent (PCT/KR2023/019659) earlier this year.
Director Nam Chang-hyun (Orthopedic Surgeon) who participated in the development of surgical instruments "Based on his experience in surgery and accumulated know-how, we have developed surgical instruments that can complement robotic artificial joint surgery and double the effectiveness of treatment. It is expected that a hybrid surgical method that combines an existing robotic surgical instrument with a patented surgical instrument will enable more accurate bone cutting, preventing damage to normal tissues as much as possible, further reducing the risk of side effects and complications.
A paper titled 'Surgical Technique for Complementing Robotic-Assified Total Knee Arthroplasty in Middle-Aged Patients with Rigid Knee Bones' was published in the Journal of Personalized Medicine, a world-renowned SCIE-level international journal, in September.
Meanwhile, Himchan Hospital has been performing robotic artificial joint surgery at six Himchan hospitals, including Incheon Himchan General Hospital, Gangbuk, Mokdong, Bupyeong, Busan, and Changwon since its first introduction of the Mako robot system in June 2020. According to Korea Striker, Makorobot's Korea branch, as of the end of September 2024, a total of 40,000 Makorobot artificial joint surgeries were performed in Korea, of which about 23,300 were performed by six Himchan hospitals, accounting for about 58%.
Based on this abundant clinical experience, the orthopedic surgery research team at Himchan Hospital's Arthology Research Institute has published a total of eight international papers on macorobots so far, and five of them have been published in world-renowned SCIE-class journals. Currently, there are a total of 10 papers on macorobots published by domestic medical staff, and eight of them were published by Himchan Hospital, which is considered a remarkable achievement as a joint and spinal hospital and is leading the artificial joint surgery of robots.
