Freedom of movement is essential to living confidently and independently. At Crisp Regional, we’re proud to offer the ROSA® Robotic Knee System, bringing advanced surgical precision to patients right here in our community.
The ROSA® Knee System is a robotic surgical assistant that helps our orthopedic surgeons perform total knee replacement procedures with a new level of accuracy. Using real-time data and 3D imaging of your unique anatomy, ROSA supports more personalized and precise implant placement, which may lead to a smoother recovery and longer-lasting results. This technology is especially helpful for improving outcomes in patients with complex knee anatomy.
This advanced technology is designed for individuals experiencing early-to-mid-stage osteoarthritis of the knee. Common symptoms include:
• Persistent knee pain
• Swelling or stiffness
• Knee locking
If conservative treatments like medication or physical therapy are no longer effective, ROSA® robotic-assisted surgery could be the next step toward restoring mobility and comfort.
ROSA® doesn’t replace your surgeon. It enhances their ability to deliver exceptional results. Prior to surgery, X-rays are used to create a 3D model of your knee, enabling our surgeons to craft a customized surgical plan.
During the procedure, the ROSA system uses optical trackers and a mini-camera to monitor your knee in real-time. It functions like a GPS for your surgeon, making precise adjustments based on your anatomy and any movement during surgery. Your surgeon remains in full control, using ROSA as a tool to increase accuracy and confidence.
Patients undergoing ROSA-assisted surgery may experience:
• Smaller incisions and less scarring
• Minimal blood loss
• Reduced post-op pain
• Faster recovery time
• More accurate implant positioning
• Greater implant longevity
Following surgery, recovery is typically quicker due to the minimally invasive approach. While some stiffness or discomfort is normal, most patients can resume light activities within a couple of weeks. Your orthopedic team will guide you through:
• Pain management
• Surgical site care
• Gradual return to movement
• Customized rehabilitation plans
At Crisp Regional, expert care doesn’t mean you have to travel far. Our board-certified orthopedic surgeons, Dr. Thomas Darden and Dr. Paul Michas, combine compassionate care with the latest technology to help you regain mobility with confidence.
