3D imaging. Future of hip surgery?

I have heard, albeit anecdotally, that some hospitals are using 3D imaging and robots (directed by surgeons I hope!) to “custom fit” new implants and reduce dislocation risk.  Is this true or just science fiction?  I’m hoping for any new techniques to reduce dislocation risk after revision surgery.  I’m not very mobile so high risk.  Any info?

    Using 3D Image to create a hip replacement that works to ‘trick’ the body’s host bone into believing that the implant is part of the bone itself. This newly developed replacement should not only last longer but also create fewer problems for those receiving it. If you are looking for safe surgery you can visit  Aakash Healthcare dwarka Delhi.

      Fascinating.  My limited mobility means my concern is the dislocation risk and it sounds as if this will be reduced.  It’s really good news for all future hip replacements and revisions.
