Minimally Invasive and Robotic-Assisted Joint Replacement
Orthopedic surgeons at Methodist Charlton use the Robotic Surgical Assistant (ROSA) to perform minimally invasive partial and total joint replacement. Robotic assistance allows surgeons to place your implant with more precision, compared to traditional surgical techniques.
When combined with minimally invasive techniques, robotic assistance offers many benefits for joint reconstruction and replacement. Some of these benefits may include less pain and an easier and faster recovery, compared to open surgical techniques. ROSA Knee robotic technology assists your surgeon to plan and carry 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.
