Hip replacement surgery has evolved dramatically over the past decade. By combining the Anterior Bikini Hip Replacement approach with the latest CORIOGRAPHY Robotic Navigation Technology and Planning, we can achieve exceptional precision in implant positioning while preserving muscles and helping patients return to an active lifestyle sooner.

This advanced technology allows every hip replacement to be individually planned and accurately guided during surgery, rather than relying on visual estimation alone.

Our goal is simple:

A natural feeling hip, accurate implant positioning, improved stability and a faster recovery with early return to activities patients enjoy doing.

CORIOGRAPHY is an advanced computer-assisted navigation platform developed to improve the accuracy of implant positioning in total hip replacement surgery by Smith and Nephew. Guiding the surgeon to perform multiple tasks during surgery including assistance in performing accurate neck resections of the femur and position the implant (Cup) in the desired position based on Pre Planning using the coriography software based on the CT scans and special Xrays that were performed.

Unlike conventional hip replacement, where implant positioning relies primarily on surgical experience and anatomical landmarks, CORIOGRAPHY continuously tracks your anatomy throughout the operation using sophisticated infrared navigation technology when used.

This provides your surgeon with real-time information regarding:

• Hip anatomy
• Pelvic position
• Cup inclination
• Cup anteversion
• Leg length
• Hip offset
• Implant positioning

The system acts as an intelligent guidance platform, helping your surgeon reproduce the personalised surgical plan with remarkable accuracy throughout the procedure although planning and implant sizing/positioning is most important.

A successful hip replacement depends on much more than simply replacing the arthritic joint.

Precise positioning of every implant can influence:

• Hip stability
• Range of motion
• Walking pattern
• Leg length equality
• Implant longevity
• Risk of dislocation
• Wear of the bearing surfaces
• Overall patient satisfaction

Even small differences in implant orientation may affect long-term function.

Robotic CORIOGRAPHY technology allows continuous verification of implant position during surgery to help optimise these important factors.

Our preferred surgical technique is the Direct Anterior Approach, often called the Bikini Hip Replacement.

This modern muscle-sparing approach is performed through a cosmetic skin crease incision at the front of the hip.

Benefits may include:

• No muscle detachment
• Smaller cosmetic incision
• Reduced post-operative pain
• Earlier walking
• Reduced dislocation risk
• Faster functional recovery
• Improved early mobility
• Shorter hospital stay for many patients

By combining the Anterior Bikini Approach with CORIOGRAPHY navigation, patients benefit from both minimally invasive surgery and advanced precision technology.

Potential advantages include:

• Highly accurate implant positioning
• Personalised surgery for each patient
• Improved restoration of hip biomechanics
• Accurate leg length assessment
• Restoration of hip offset
• Improved implant alignment
• Real-time intraoperative decision making
• Reduced reliance on visual estimation alone
• Digital recording of implant position
• Increased surgical precision

No.

The operation is always performed by your orthopaedic surgeon.

CORIOGRAPHY does not replace surgical expertise.

Instead, it functions as an advanced navigation robotic platform that provides your surgeon with continuous real-time guidance and objective measurements throughout the operation.

Your surgeon remains in complete control of every aspect of your surgery.
