Robotic Knee Surgery

Meet ROSA

The first knee replacement surgery was performed in the 1960s. As technology has grown over the years, these procedures have become all the more effective and sought after for their many benefits in relieving pain. Today, hundreds of thousands of knee replacements are performed each year in the US alone.

Robotic technology has opened a new world of possibilities for knee replacement surgery. We’re proud to provide ROSA (Robotic Surgical Assistant) technology for patients seeking knee replacement surgery.

How Does Robotic Knee Surgery Work?

Robotic knee surgery can offer many benefits, including:

• Increased accuracy during surgery
• More precise implant positioning
• The possibility of better long-term outcomes

Think of ROSA as a tool your surgeon can utilize to optimize your surgery. In addition to being super on point with its movements, ROSA also provides helpful data to your surgeon during your surgery. For example, if you shift your leg during the operation, ROSA’s cameras and sensors will relay those insights to your surgeon so they can adjust accordingly.

Though there are risks associated with any operation (and everyone’s recovery time is different), the precision provided by robotic surgery may reduce pain in post-op and streamline your recovery time.

Need to Know: Robotic Knee Surgery

We understand that some patients may have concerns at the thought of a robot performing their surgery. The main concern that tends to spring up for patients is wondering whether their surgeon will still be fully involved during their procedure, or if they’ll step back to let the robot do all the work.

If you’re considering robotic knee replacement, know that ROSA will never make any moves on its own. Your surgeon will be with you the entire time, and the robot does not move unless your surgeon directs it to. The robot is essentially providing your surgeon with data during your surgery, then carrying out their directions with the utmost precision.

Robot-assisted surgery is now quite common. It’s used for all sorts of procedures, from treating digestive conditions to cancer. We’re always here to answer any questions you may have!

Scheduling Your Robotic Knee Replacement

If you’re experiencing debilitating pain from osteoarthritis or other knee conditions, a knee replacement may be in order – and ROSA may be able to help.

If our team determines that robotic knee surgery will be the best option for you, a series of X-rays may be scheduled to create a 3D model of your knee. Combined with ROSA’s realtime surgical insights, your surgeon will have a comprehensive understanding of your knee’s unique design.

Beyond your surgery, we also offer physical therapy services and joint classes to assist you in your recovery.
