Robotic Knee Surgery. If you re one of the millions of americans suffering from pain caused by arthritis or an injury to the knee and you haven t experienced adequate relief with conservative treatment options mako robotic arm assisted surgery might be right for you. For patients suffering from severe knee pain caused by osteoarthritis robotic knee replacement surgery may be able to offer relief with shorter recovery times and longer lasting results.
If you re one of the millions of americans suffering from pain caused by arthritis or an injury to the knee and you haven t experienced adequate relief with conservative treatment options mako robotic arm assisted surgery might be right for you. Studies have shown surgeries performed with robotics offer more accurate results. In knee replacement surgery the arthritic portion of the knee is removed and covered with a combination of plastic and metal parts that form the new surfaces of the knee joint.
In computer assisted robotic surgery a robot acts as an extension of the surgeon s eyes and hands in a minimally invasive surgery to replace an arthritic knee.
People with osteoarthritis and other severe cases of knee pain may need robotic assisted total knee replacement surgery for treatment. Total knee replacements are routinely done around with world with a high degree of success. Rosa which stands for robotic surgical assistant brings an extra measure of precision to total knee replacement with features that help a surgeon assess soft tissues and refine bone resections to facilitate positioning of the knee implant during surgery. The robotics help surgeons operate more effectively through a smaller incision.
