Our Technology
Rosa Robotic Knee Surgery
The ROSA Knee System supports Surgeons in performing total knee arthroplasty including the following features:
- Assistance with bone resections,
- Assessment of soft tissues to facilitate implant positioning intra-operatively.
The robotic approach is performed to relieve pain caused by joint degeneration due to osteoarthritis. It is performed using robotic-arm technology, which allows the surgeon to precisely perform the procedure.
What is the Rosa Robotic System
OThe ROSA offers a combination of cutting-edge technologies including:
- Computer navigation
- Soft tissue balancing
- 3D modelling
- Robotics
"Joint replacement surgery is a very successful operation as shown by the results in the National Joint Registry. As Orthopaedic Surgeons we are always trying to improve patient outcomes and the survivorship of implants.
Robotic technologies have been developed with the aim of improving surgical precision, component alignment and soft tissue balance with the expectation that this will improve patient outcomes.
While the early results of robotic assisted surgery are encouraging, it will take many years to see if the potential benefits of improved alignment and balance are realised.
I am very excited that we now have access to this technology here at Westmead Private and look forward to realising its potential"
- Dr Edward Graham.
How ROSA Knee Robot Works
The ROSA Knee robot is a surgical assistant designed to adapt to the required workflow and support a wide range of surgical philosophies.
The ROSA technology allows Dr Graham to conduct a “virtual knee replacement” with predictable outcomes before the surgery. This enables improved soft tissue balancing.
Accurate implant placement is also achieved as the precision planning allows the knee implant to be secured exactly over the prepared portion of the knee joint.
The ROSA Knee System allows more accurate pre-operative planning and preparation of the implants; which will precisely match your anatomy.
