Hyderabad summit discusses advances in knee and hip replacement surgery

Apollo Hospitals hosted a two-day joint replacement summit in Hyderabad on October 10 and 11.

More than 350 orthopaedic surgeons and joint replacement specialists took part.

They discussed robotic-assisted surgery, surgical planning, implant choices and techniques for knee and hip replacements.

The summit focused on personalising treatment and using precision-based approaches to improve patient outcomes.

Joint replacement is generally considered for people with advanced arthritis or severe joint damage.

It may be an option when pain, stiffness and limited movement continue despite non-surgical treatment.

The event included scientific sessions and a live workshop.
