At the beginning of November 2024, the Est-Réunion Hospital Group (GHER) carried out, for the first time in Réunion, a knee prosthesis installation assisted by augmented reality. Doctor Renaud Breda, orthopedic and trauma surgeon, accomplished “this technological feat, placing the GHER at the forefront of modern orthopedic surgery”, welcomes the GHER.

Introduced in France in June 2020, augmented reality brings a major change to orthopedic surgery. Through the use of connected glasses, this technology allows real-time visualization of the internal structures of the knee.
It enriches the surgeon’s perception by offering him a precise and complete view, promoting perfect alignment of the implants and reducing the invasiveness of the procedure.
– Benefits for patients –
The integration of this innovation into the GHER offers significant benefits for patients:
– Increased precision: more exact implantation of prostheses, adapted to individual morphology.
– Less invasiveness: reduction of operative and post-operative trauma.
– Accelerated recovery: easier recovery thanks to a more tissue-friendly technique.
– Reduced risk of complications: a safer and better controlled surgical procedure.
– An unprecedented medical advance in Reunion –
By adopting this cutting-edge technology, GHER affirms its commitment to innovative and personalized medicine. This first intervention marks a turning point for orthopedic surgery in Reunion, positioning the establishment as a benchmark player for modern, high-quality care.
Doctor Renaud Breda emphasizes: “Thanks to augmented reality, we can optimize each surgical procedure to offer our patients lasting results adapted to their specific needs. This is a major step forward for the quality of their care. »
