Here are five highlights:
1. Through the system, surgeons can perform more accurate partial knee replacement surgeries using Smith & Nephew’s JOURNEY UNI knee.
2. The Navio robotic system helps surgeons prepare the bone through its freehand sculpting technique.
3. The system does not require a preoperative CT scan. Rather, the ASCs’ surgeons can collect anatomical data during a procedure and use the data to construct a 3-D model of the patient’s knee.
4. Using this 3-D model, the surgeon can effectively place the implant and balance the knee’s ligaments to ensure proper alignment.
5. Michael Adams, MD, a surgeon with Jacksonville Surgery Center, said the Navio robotic system yields a better recovery, improved outcomes, less pain and enhanced function for patients.
