UofL Health – Medical Center East utilizes the cutting-edge MAKO and ROSA robotic systems for knee and hip replacements, enhancing surgical precision and patient recovery. These systems allow for minimally invasive surgeries with improved outcomes, reducing pain and recovery times for patients. This technology reflects UofL Health’s commitment to innovative care and patient-centered outcomes.
ROSA Robotic Joint Replacement
Medical Center East offers robotics-assisted knee and hip replacement using the ROSA robotic system. The ROSA system allows surgeons to examine a 3D model of the knee through X-rays to plan the surgery in advance, enhancing precision in implant placement. This advanced technology minimizes the need for large incisions, resulting in less pain and faster recovery times for patients. During the procedure, the ROSA system provides real-time feedback, allowing surgeons to make adjustments as needed, ultimately improving surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction.
MAKO
The MAKO system accurately determines the implant size and provides exact placement based on each patient’s bone anatomy. The use of this computer technology and robotic-assisted surgery for total joint replacement minimizes the risk of error in implant size, placement and soft tissue damage. This type of smart technology also allows the surgeon to make any necessary adjustments during the procedure in real time to achieve the target surgical goal.
