Hospital CMQ Riviera Nayarit performed the region's first robotic knee replacement using the ROSA® Knee System, allowing real-time, patient-specific measurements for a highly precise procedure — with less postoperative pain and discharge in under 48 hours.
What is robotic knee replacement surgery?
The ROSA® system, developed by Zimmer Biomet, guides the surgeon throughout the procedure using real-time anatomical data specific to each patient. This minimizes tissue trauma, reduces pain, and speeds up recovery compared to traditional techniques.
Who is a candidate for this procedure?
Patients with severe knee joint damage who haven't improved with conservative treatments — physical therapy, medication, or rest — may be candidates for robotic knee replacement.

What can I expect during recovery?
Most patients are discharged within 48 hours and gradually return to daily activities in less than 15 days, with medical follow-up and physical therapy. Our first three patients were walking without pain and resuming daily life within two weeks.
