You will be assessed by our renowned Surgeon, Mr Winston Kim, FRCS, who performed the largest number of robot-arm assisted hip and knee replacements in the United Kingdom (Year end 2022 and 2023 with more than 600 cases, and who has performed more than 1000 robot assisted hip and knee replacements, considered by many to be transformative technology in hip and knee replacement surgery).

ROBOTIC ASSISTED HIP REPLACEMENT

Although hip replacements are generally successful in relieving pain and improving function, patient expectations, higher functional requirements and increasingly younger patients wish a ‘forgotten’/ functionally perfect hip which last their whole lifetimes, whilst enabling them to continue to enjoy an active lifestyle.

Robotic-assisted technology has come about as it is appreciated that the precision and accuracy of hip implant placement can be the difference between a ‘good’ and a ‘forgotten’/excellent hip. In robotic assisted hip replacement surgery, your Surgeon could very precisely (to fractions of a millimetre) implant a hip that is tailored to your anatomy, your hip size and alignment. The outcomes following robotic assisted partial hip replacement are promising, with patients happy that the technical approach to surgery is extremely accurate, so that they are left with just having to concentrate on the rehabilitation required after hip replacement.

CONSIDERING A HIP REPLACEMENT ? : THE NUMBERS OR VOLUME OF HIP REPLACEMENT PERFORMED BY YOUR SURGEON MATTERS

Research has demonstrated that the number of hip and knee replacement procedures performed (e.g. a year) by treating Surgeons matters, * with better outcomes associated with higher volume hip and knee Surgeons.

Mr Kim performed the largest number of private Robot-arm assisted hip and knee replacements in the United Kingdom (Year-end 2022 and 2023, with more than 600 hip and knee replacements).

According to the National Joint Registry **, Mr Kim performed :

  • 427 Primary Total Hip Replacements (National average 124)
  • 259 Primary Total Knee replacements (National average 115)
  • 48 Partial Knee replacements (National average 41)

Outcomes collected in the National Joint Registry reveal very satisfactory clinical outcomes in terms of survivorship of the hip and knee replacements and patient safety over the short and long-term.

In addition to the reassuring data available in the National Joint Registry, patient reported outcomes matter. You will find evidence of several patient reported outcomes by clicking on the various links below.
