Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center now offers Polk County’s only ROSA® Knee Robot to markedly improve outcomes for patients undergoing total knee replacement surgeries.
“Our exceptional orthopedic surgeons and surgical teams consistently find ways to bring state-of-the-art technology to our patients,” said Timothy J. Regan, MD, President, Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center/Chief Medical Officer, Lakeland Regional Health. “Having this advanced option for total knee reconstruction locally offers many benefits to patients needing this type of surgery.”
“ROSA provides real-time information for surgeons during knee replacement surgery which allows patients to receive more precise placement of the implant in order to achieve superior outcomes,” said Phuc Vo, MD, board-certified Orthopedic Surgeon at Watson Clinic. “This robotic-assisted surgery gives us leading-edge tools to provide our patients with an even higher level of joint replacement care.”
The ROSA Robotic Knee System® is recommended for individuals who have osteoarthritis of the knee with symptoms such as knee pain, knee swelling, and knee lock that have not responded to more conservative treatment measures.
ROSA, which stands for Robotic Surgical Assistant, is designed to help specially trained surgeons tailor the placement of the implant in each patient. ROSA, manufactured by Zimmer Biomet, uses data collected before surgery and during surgery to inform the surgeon of details related to each patient’s anatomy.
