Robotic-assisted partial knee replacements, consisting of a robotic arm, a controller, stereo-tracking system, camera, surgical instruments and a portable case console, allow quicker recovery times and a more “natural-feeling joint,” according to the report.
The system also includes software, which is used for 3D CT scanning and real-time modeling for surgical planning and executive. It also offers orthopedic surgeons a tactile safety zone, instrument locator, monitors and a mobile base, according to the report.
