New England Baptist Hospital is the first hospital to utilize the leading-edge technology for a hip replacement
A team of orthopedic surgeons at New England Baptist Hospital (NEBH) performed the first-ever augmented reality (AR)-guided total hip replacement at a hospital today. NEBH’s Stephen B. Murphy, MD, who invented the system, performed the hip replacement with NEBH colleagues, Daniel M. Ward, MD, and Carl T. Talmo, MD. The system, which received FDA clearance in January, is the first intraoperative AR guidance platform for joint replacement to display 3D models of the patient’s anatomy, implants, and instruments inside the body in real time.
