Total Hip Replacement (THR) with Navigator Assist

By: Piyavate Hospital

Total Hip Replacement (THR)

Total Hip Replacement (THR) is a treatment method for patients with hip osteoarthritis, hip collapse, or chronic pain that impacts daily life. The surgery helps reduce pain, improves mobility, and enables patients to return to living a nearly normal life again.

After surgery, most patients experience significant improvement in walking and performing various activities, reduced pain, and a better quality of life within a short period of time.

What is CAS (Computer-Assisted Surgery)?

CAS or Computer-Assisted Surgery is a technology that utilizes computer systems to assist in surgery, functioning as a navigation system to help surgeons determine the position and angle for artificial hip joint placement more accurately.

The computer navigation system helps evaluate bone alignment, component placement angles, and hip joint balance in real time, resulting in optimal positioning of the artificial hip joint tailored to each patient's anatomy.

Advantages of THR with Navigator Assist

• Increases precision in artificial hip joint placement
• Reduce the risk of hip dislocation
• Helps movement be natural and close to normal
• Extend the lifespan of artificial hip joints
• Reduces the chance of future revision surgery
