Dr. Philip Myers Utilizes Augmented Reality Technology for Hip Replacements

Dr. Myers’ pioneering use of augmented reality technology in hip replacement surgery is revolutionizing the field of orthopedics in Mississippi. With the HipInsight system, he is able to achieve unparalleled precision and visualization during procedures, ultimately leading to better outcomes for his patients.

The ability to have “x-ray vision” during surgery allows Dr. Myers to accurately place hip replacement components with immediate feedback, reducing the need for x-rays and minimizing radiation exposure for everyone involved. This groundbreaking technology is not only enhancing the surgical process but also advancing orthopedic care in the state.

As Dr. Myers continues to utilize HipInsight on a case-by-case basis, particularly for patients with unique anatomical challenges, the potential for improved patient outcomes and reduced complications is immense.
