IMED Hospitales introduces robotic navigation for hip replacement surgery.
June 25, 2026
IMED Hospitales has incorporated robotic navigation into hip replacement procedures, a technological advancement that enhances surgical precision and optimizes implant positioning. This technology provides real-time information to the surgeon during the procedure, promoting greater implant stability, reducing the risk of certain complications, and contributing to improved long-term durability.
The introduction of robotic navigation systems marks another step forward in IMED Hospitales’ commitment to healthcare innovation and the implementation of advanced technologies that enable increasingly precise, safe, and personalized procedures for patients.
According to Dr. Javier Sanz Reig, specialist in Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology at IMED Hospitales, “Robotic navigation allows us to achieve greater accuracy in implant placement, a key factor in ensuring prosthesis stability and optimizing its long-term performance.”
Technology Serving Surgical Precision
Hip replacement surgery is one of the most common procedures in traumatology and orthopedic surgery. The correct positioning of prosthetic components is essential to ensure proper joint function and maximize the lifespan of the implant.
Robotic navigation systems act as an advanced assistance tool, helping specialists determine the exact position of implants during the procedure. Thanks to this technology, it is possible to reproduce the surgical plan with a high degree of accuracy and adapt implant placement to the anatomical characteristics of each patient.
As Dr. Sanz Reig points out, “The surgeon’s expertise remains the key factor, but the robot helps us determine the exact position of the prosthetic implants, which directly benefits the patient.”
Greater Prosthesis Stability and Durability
Among the main advantages of robotic navigation is its ability to optimize implant positioning, resulting in greater prosthesis stability. This level of precision helps reduce the risk of complications such as dislocation and promotes proper joint biomechanics.
In addition, more accurate implant placement can have a positive impact on the long-term performance of the prosthesis, contributing to improved durability and better functional outcomes for the patient.
Innovation in the Service of the Patient
The introduction of robotic navigation for hip replacement surgery reinforces IMED Hospitales’ commitment to clinical excellence and technological innovation. This latest advancement further expands the capabilities of its Traumatology and Orthopedic Surgery services, providing patients with tools that enhance surgical precision and improve the quality of clinical outcomes.
With this addition, IMED Hospitales continues to promote increasingly advanced, personalized, and patient-centered healthcare, always focused on improving patient well-being.
