Robotic Hip Replacement Surgery by Dr Neelesh Damani

Robotic Hip Replacement Surgery

Robotic hip replacement is an advanced form of total hip arthroplasty that uses robotic technology to assist the surgeon in planning and placing the implants with high precision. Accurate positioning of the cup and stem is important for stability, range of movement and long-term implant performance.

Dr Neelesh Damani, Consultant Orthopaedic & Joint Replacement Surgeon, offers robotic total hip replacement as part of his specialised joint replacement practice. The technology supports careful pre-operative planning and real-time guidance during surgery while the surgeon remains fully in control at every step.

Why You May Need Robotic Hip Replacement

  • Severe osteoarthritis causing constant hip pain and stiffness
  • Difficulty walking, climbing stairs or putting on shoes and socks
  • Hip pain that radiates to the groin, thigh or buttock and limits daily life
  • Failure of medicines, physiotherapy and injections to give lasting relief
  • Desire for more precise implant placement and potentially better long-term function
  • Need for a durable solution that restores mobility and independence

How Robotic Hip Replacement Is Performed

  • Detailed pre-operative planning using advanced imaging and robotic software
  • Personalised 3D model of the patient’s hip to guide implant size and position
  • Robotic assistance helps achieve accurate cup orientation and stem placement
  • Real-time feedback supports optimal alignment, offset and leg-length restoration
  • Surgeon remains in complete control throughout the procedure
  • Focus on stability, accurate positioning and smooth recovery

Not every patient with hip pain needs a replacement. Many improve with activity modification, weight management, physiotherapy, medicines or injections. When the joint surface is severely damaged and conservative care no longer helps, total hip replacement becomes a reliable option to relieve pain and restore movement.

Dr Neelesh Damani uses robotic technology as a precision aid that enhances the accuracy of established joint replacement principles. The system supports careful planning and controlled execution so that the implants are positioned according to the patient’s individual anatomy — an important factor for comfort, stability and long-term performance.

Conditions Commonly Treated with Robotic Hip Replacement

Robotic-assisted total hip replacement is most often recommended for the following problems:

Advanced Osteoarthritis

Severe wear of the hip joint cartilage leading to pain, stiffness and progressive loss of movement.

Avascular Necrosis (AVN)

Loss of blood supply to the femoral head causing collapse of the bone and secondary arthritis.

Rheumatoid & Inflammatory Arthritis

Inflammatory conditions that destroy the hip joint surface and cause persistent pain and deformity.

Post-Traumatic Arthritis

Hip damage that develops after a fracture, dislocation or major injury around the joint.

Developmental Dysplasia Sequelae

Long-term consequences of hip dysplasia that lead to early arthritis and pain in adulthood.

Failed Previous Hip Surgery

Selected cases where earlier procedures have not provided lasting relief and the joint is severely damaged.

Symptoms That May Indicate the Need for Hip Replacement

Consider a specialist opinion if you experience any of the following:

  • Persistent hip or groin pain that interferes with sleep or daily activities
  • Stiffness that makes it hard to bend, put on shoes or get in and out of a car
  • Pain that radiates to the thigh, buttock or knee and limits walking distance
  • Limping or a feeling that the hip is unstable
  • Difficulty climbing stairs or rising from a low chair
  • Little or no lasting benefit from medicines, injections or physiotherapy

Our Approach to Robotic Hip Replacement

The decision for hip replacement is never taken lightly. Dr Neelesh Damani first explores all appropriate non-surgical options. When surgery is the right choice, robotic assistance is used to enhance precision in planning and implant positioning.

The robotic system helps create a personalised surgical plan based on the patient’s unique anatomy. During the operation it provides real-time guidance so that the acetabular cup and femoral stem are placed within the planned safe zones. Accurate orientation and leg-length restoration support stability and a more natural feel after surgery.

After the procedure, early mobilisation and structured physiotherapy are started as soon as it is safe. Clear guidance is given on activity progression, hip precautions and long-term joint care so that patients can return to an active, independent life with confidence.
