Description
In this engaging session, Fares Haddad presents recent findings from a series of studies focused on robotic-assisted hip and knee surgeries at the Southern hub. He humorously encourages audience participation, assuring those who need to leave that their names will be remembered. Haddad begins by discussing the importance of biomechanical restoration in hip surgeries, highlighting positive outcomes from their randomized controlled trial (RCT) using MAKO technology. With a strong emphasis on data, he notes the statistical significance in the restoration of biomechanics and the safety of robotic surgeries compared to conventional methods.
Haddad also shares insights from ongoing studies, including one examining functional versus mechanical alignment, garnering enthusiasm for the potential implications of robotic assistance in surgeries. He acknowledges challenges such as recruitment delays due to COVID-19 but remains optimistic about upcoming results. He concludes by addressing the future of personalized alignment in surgeries and calls for questions and discussions from the audience, leaving an open invitation for collaboration and debate.
