The complex bilateral procedure was performed by Dr. Avinashdev Upadhyay, Consultant Orthopaedic and Robotic Joint Replacement Surgeon at UMC Hospitals, Navi Mumbai, who has undergone advanced fellowship training in Australia in Robotic Hip & Knee Replacement Surgery and Direct Anterior Hip Replacement.
Avascular necrosis is a progressive condition in which reduced blood supply to the femoral head results in deterioration and eventual collapse of the hip joint.
Following a detailed clinical assessment and radiological evaluation, Dr. Upadhyay recommended Bilateral Total Hip Replacement using the Direct Anterior Approach in combination with Robotic-Assisted Technology.
The Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) is increasingly being adopted in contemporary hip replacement surgery because it provides access to the hip joint through the front of the hip and works through natural tissue planes, avoiding the need to detach major muscles around the hip.
Hip Replacement is not simply about replacing a damaged joint.
