Minimally Invasive and Robotic-Assisted Joint Replacement
Partial and full knee replacement procedures are performed with advanced technology, including the ROSA robot. ROSA is a personalized robotic system that enables direct anterior surgeons to evaluate and execute a surgical plan based on real-time feedback and the patient’s unique anatomy. It provides surgeons with reassurance and control, while seamlessly integrating into their workflow.
Osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis, is a wear-and-tear condition that destroys joint cartilage and bone. A knee replacement resurfaces damaged cartilage and bone with an artificial implant device. The implants create a new, smooth functioning joint that helps alleviate the painful bone-on-bone contact. ROSA Knee robotic technology assists your surgeon in planning and carrying out a personalized surgery based on your unique anatomy.
No matter which kind of orthopedic procedure you need, you’ll have access to education and information before, during, and after any procedure. After your orthopedic treatment, you can count on our rehabilitation specialists to help get you up and active again — and help get you back to your regular life.
