A trained surgeon in this system is able to manage a knee replacement with a high level of precision. This system helps to support the surgeon during a Total Knee Arthroplasty. It aids with bone resections as well as assessing the soft tissue condition. It can even help to improve implant positioning during the procedure. This advanced technology helps to provide planning and measurements necessary for the ideal outcome.

By comparison, older methods for knee replacement required surgeons to make decisions and placement by hand, which required them to rely on experience to get it just right. This method uses technology to ensure better accuracy throughout the process. It also helps with precision, which means more of the healthy bone remains intact.

What Are the Benefits of the ROSA Knee System?
There are a number of key benefits to using the ROSA Knee System. The biggest benefit provided is the improved outcome after having the surgery. In addition to this, it also eliminates the need for pre-operative x-rays and CT scans, minimizing the overall steps you have to take to receive care.
Another core benefit that most people appreciate is that it’s less invasive. Patients will have smaller incisions with reduced scarring and minimal blood loss. Patients will also have a shorter hospital stay and a quicker recovery period which allows patients to return to daily activities quicker.

Who Is a Candidate for the ROSA Knee System?
It’s important to speak to your surgeon about your options. Many people will benefit from this procedure if they struggle with knee pain. This is a surgical procedure, which means you need to be cleared for it.

You may be a candidate for the procedure if you have early-to-mid stage osteoarthritis. This typically causes knee pain, swelling, and locking. If more conservative treatment options may have failed, the ROSA Knee System may be a viable option.

What to Expect in Recovery Time After Surgery
There is a healing period where you may have some stiffness and pain in your leg, though medications are available to help minimize this. You’ll have a smaller incision to manage, too. Most often, individuals are able to get back on their feet quickly. However, refraining from significant weight bearing exercise and activity is important until cleared by your doctor.
