What Happens During a Rosa Robot-Assisted Knee Surgery?

Many people think the robot performs the surgery, but it is simply there to assist the top-rated OSMC surgeons in precisely positioning the knee implant. During your procedure, the ROSA robotic system utilizes a camera and optical trackers attached to your leg to know precisely where your knee is in space. If your leg moves even a fraction of an inch, the robot can tell and help the surgeon adjust accordingly. This also helps ensure that your surgeon's plan is executed as intended.

OSMC knee surgeon Dr. Erekson notes, “With the ROSA robotic system, the robotic assistant provides data and positioning of the patient's knee to the surgeon during the operation. This allows the surgeon to gain greater precision and the option to make modifications to enhance implant fit during procedures.”
