RI.HIP NAVIGATION is a Smith+Nephew proprietary technology that is part of Real Intelligence, a digital ecosystem that creates a seamless connection through the continuum of care by combining robotics, software and procedure data to improve outcomes.
RI.HIP NAVIGATION delivers individualized component alignment. Next to the digital measurement of leg length and offset changes, it empowers the surgeon with an assessment of individual patient pelvic tilt and a predicted view of the post-op AP X-ray in surgery thanks to its seamless integration with TraumaCad.
Instability remains an issue in hip surgery, despite advancements over the last 20 years. New preoperative assessment tools to evaluate spinopelvic mobility could be part of a potential solution.
RI.HIP MODELER is a mobile (iPad) application designed to easily assess patient spinopelvic mobility. Before surgery, surgeons can evaluate cup placement based on a patient's unique spinopelvic condition. RI.HIP MODELER assesses implant impingement along with many other factors to reduce the potential for hip dislocation.
