Patients at Mediclinic Parkview Hospital are now benefiting from precise and personalised knee replacement surgery with a robotic surgical assistant, ROSA. As a result, they are able to recover faster and achieve a greater degree of joint flexibility allowing them a quicker return to normal activity.
The ROSA Knee System first uses a series of X-rays to create a 3D model of the patient’s knee. Based on their surgical needs, the surgeon will advise on a clinically proven knee implant system that is best suited to them. The surgeon will use their experience alongside the information from ROSA to plan specific details of the knee replacement prior to the surgery. During surgery, ROSA uses a camera and sensor to know exactly where the patient’s knee is - it can detect even the smallest movements in real time. Providing live feedback throughout surgery via a digital display and with the help of a robotic guiding arm, ROSA helps the surgeon precisely place the implant according to their
