The achievement underscores the hospital's growing focus on integrating technology to support surgical precision and planning in orthopaedic care.

It supports surgeons by generating a 3D simulation for pre-surgical planning and assists in achieving improved alignment during surgery. At KPJ Ipoh, the system is operated by consultant orthopaedic surgeons with specialised training in robotic-assisted techniques. 'We still rely on surgical expertise, but digital tools allow us to plan and execute procedures with greater consistency.
