If you're considering joint replacement surgery, you want your new joint to feel as natural as possible. That's why at Mercy, we use robotic-assisted orthopedic surgery to tailor knee and hip replacements to your unique anatomy. By embracing new robotic-assisted technology, we can improve the precision, safety and outcomes of orthopedic procedures. Ask your Mercy doctor if you think you could benefit from this procedure.
What Is Robotic-Assisted Surgery?
With robotic-assisted surgery, imaging is used to create a high-definition 3D model of your anatomy. This allows your surgeon to more precisely target damaged cartilage and bone. Robotic-assisted surgery can help your care team achieve better outcomes, including faster recovery times, minimal scarring and less pain overall.
How Does Robotic-Assisted Surgery Work?
During surgery, your surgeon will use a robot to help them perform minimally invasive techniques on your knee or hip. Every movement of the robotic system is precisely and safely controlled by your Mercy doctor.
Benefits of Orthopedic Robotic-Assisted Surgery
Benefits of robotic-assisted orthopedic surgery include:
Faster recovery and return to normal activities
Greater surgical precision
Less pain
Optimized implant positioning
Protection of healthy cartilage and bone
