Robotic Technology for Joint Replacement
Surgeons at Turkey Creek Medical Center can perform robotic-assisted partial knee replacement. This innovative robotic-assisted surgical procedure offers a minimally invasive treatment option for mid-stage osteoarthritis. During the surgery, the diseased portion of the knee is resurfaced, sparing the patient's healthy bone and surrounding tissue. The digital tracking system constantly monitors and updates the patient's anatomy and allows the surgeon to make real-time adjustments to optimize implant positioning and placement.
Surgeons also use robotic-assisted technology to provide a minimally invasive option for total hip replacement. This technique allows surgeons to prepare the hip socket for a more exact implant alignment, and reduces complications such as excessive wear on the joint, unequal leg length or dislocation.
