Robotic Knee Surgery with ROSA Robot at Hospital CMQ: Technology and Precision for your Well-being

Do you suffer from knee pain? This procedure is for you!

Robotic knee surgery is one of the most innovative and effective options to treat joint injuries and severe knee degeneration. Thanks to medical advances, surgeons can now perform joint replacement procedures with greater precision, less pain, and faster recovery times. At Hospital CMQ, we proudly use the ROSAⓇ (Robotic Surgical Assistant) system by Zimmer Biomet. This advanced surgical tool enables our orthopedic specialists to customize each knee replacement based on the patient’s unique anatomy, ensuring long-lasting and accurate results.

Therefore, if conservative treatments have failed or you suffer from persistent pain when walking, climbing stairs, or even while resting, robotic knee surgery may be the solution you’ve been looking for. In this article, we’ll explain how ROSAⓇ robotic surgery works, its main benefits, who qualifies as an ideal candidate, and why Hospital CMQ is your best choice for robotic knee replacement surgery.

What Is ROSAⓇ Robotic-Assisted Knee Surgery and How Does It Work?

Robotic-assisted knee surgery is a joint replacement procedure that uses robotic technology to operate with enhanced precision. Unlike traditional knee surgery, this advanced system allows surgeons to tailor each procedure to the patient’s unique knee shape, alignment, and natural movement. As a result, the main goal of this technique is to restore joint function, reduce pain, and significantly improve the quality of life for individuals suffering from severe knee degeneration.

ROSAⓇ serves as a surgical support tool by providing the surgeon with real-time, highly accurate data about the knee during the procedure. In turn, this information helps guide the surgeon in making precise incisions and positioning the knee implant with exceptional accuracy. Thanks to this technology, patients typically experience fewer complications, reduced bleeding during surgery, smaller incisions, and a faster overall recovery.

What Is the Process and Recovery Like After ROSAⓇ Robotic Knee Surgery?

The process of robotic knee surgery with the ROSAⓇ system begins with a thorough medical evaluation and detailed imaging studies. These steps allow our specialists to create a personalized surgical plan. Next, the ROSAⓇ system generates a 3D digital model of the patient’s knee to precisely determine incision points, alignment, and the optimal position for the implant. During the surgery itself, the robot provides real-time data and guides the surgeon’s every movement to ensure the implant is placed with maximum accuracy.

Recovery after ROSAⓇ knee surgery is typically faster and less painful than with traditional methods. As a result, most patients can start walking with assistance within the first 24 to 48 hours after surgery and gradually return to their normal activities within a few weeks. Additionally, beginning physical therapy is highly recommended, as it helps improve mobility and lowers the risk of future complications. By following our expert team’s guidance, you can enjoy a smooth and effective rehabilitation journey.

What Are the Benefits of Robotic Knee Surgery?

Choosing robotic knee surgery with the ROSAⓇ system offers multiple advantages. Among the most important benefits are:

• Greater surgical precision: Thanks to real-time measurements and personalized planning during the procedure, surgeons can achieve highly accurate implant placement.
• Less postoperative pain: ROSAⓇ-assisted surgery allows for a more controlled and minimally invasive procedure. As a result, patients experience less inflammation, reduced pain, and a more comfortable recovery.
• Faster recovery: Because the procedure involves less soft tissue disruption and greater surgical accuracy, patients can typically begin physical therapy the day after surgery. This early start supports a quicker return to mobility.
• Shorter hospital stay: In most cases, patients can stand and walk within the first 24 to 48 hours following surgery. Additionally, they can often return home sooner than they would after traditional knee replacement surgery.
• Long-lasting, functional results: Since the implant is positioned with high precision and aligned with the patient’s natural anatomy, it can last longer and provide optimal joint function for many years to come.

Traditional vs. Robotic Knee Surgery: Which Option Is Best for You?

For decades, traditional knee surgery has been the standard treatment for replacing joints damaged by osteoarthritis, injury, or severe wear. While it remains an effective option, this procedure often involves greater variation in implant placement, larger incisions, and a longer recovery process.

In contrast, robotic-assisted knee surgery with the ROSAⓇ system represents a significant advancement in precision, safety, and customization. Not only does it offer faster recovery, but it also delivers more durable results by adapting to each patient’s unique anatomy. For these reasons, more and more specialists and patients are choosing this approach as the best solution for treating serious knee conditions.
