China Xinhuanet.com, July 20th (Chen Jing, Xu Ying, Zhai Zanjing) The reporter was informed on the 20th that Li Huiwu, the chief physician of the Department of Orthopedics, Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, led the team to work with related high-tech companies for three years. Surgical robot.
Li Huiwu and his team successfully completed a total knee replacement for a 69-year-old female patient with left knee pain for many years using this surgical robot named "Honghu".

It is reported that despite the many advantages of surgical robot-assisted surgery, the relatively expensive surgical cost still makes many patients look forward to. In order to break the monopoly of international brands and allow more patients to have the opportunity to choose surgical robots, Chinese scientists have conducted in-depth cross-cooperation between medical and industrial workers.
It is understood that "Honghu" joint replacement surgery robot is also known as "Honghu" orthopedic surgery navigation and positioning system. All the core components of the robot are localized, which fills the gap in the field of joint replacement surgery robots in China.
Li Huiwu told reporters that during the operation, the "Honghu" robot perfectly executed the doctor's preoperative planning and completed a number of surgical auxiliary operations at a high level. According to reports, "Honghu" automatically positions the osteotomy, avoiding the damage to the patient's medullary cavity, soft tissue and bone tissue that may be caused by the intramedullary positioning tool used in traditional surgery. The patient has less bleeding and less trauma, and the recovery of knee function after operation will be faster.
At the same time, the surgical robot cooperates with the unique internal shaft knee prosthesis, which greatly reduces the incidence of joint loosening, inaccurate force lines, and joint dislocation caused by conventional surgical techniques.
It is understood that Chief Physician Li Huiwu, as the person in charge of the project, declared the project of "Hip and Knee Compatible, Safe, Efficient, and Microtraumatic Joint Surgery Robot System Development" in 2017. The project was approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology. stand by. (Finish)
