ROSA® Shoulder for Robotic Shoulder Replacement

 

 

Overview

Understanding Robotic-Assisted Shoulder Replacement

You’re unique, and so is your individual anatomy. That’s why Zimmer Biomet offers ROSA® Shoulder robotic technology. ROSA, which stands for Robotic Surgical Assistant, is designed to help your surgeon tailor the placement of your shoulder implant just for you. 

 

 

When is Robotic-Assisted Surgery Used?

In situations where accuracy1 and personalization are particularly beneficial, your surgeon may recommend robotic-assisted shoulder replacement surgery.

ROSA Shoulder uses data collected before and during surgery to provide your surgeon with important information about your shoulder anatomy that may affect implant fit. Using this information, your surgeon can make more informed decisions to plan and perform a personalized surgery based on your individual needs.

How Does Robotic Shoulder Replacement Work?

Before Shoulder Replacement Surgery

Your experience before surgery will be like that of most shoulder replacement patients. A CT scan will be used to create a 3D model of your shoulder. Your CT scan allows your surgeon to evaluate your anatomy and bone disease state.

During Shoulder Replacement Surgery

The ROSA Shoulder robot uses a camera and optical trackers to know exactly where your shoulder is in space. This helps ensure that your plan is executed as intended. ROSA Shoulder provides your surgeon with helpful information to support accurate implant placement, with the goal of lowering the risk of complications related to implant positioning.2-5

After Shoulder Replacement Surgery

You may return home the same day or remain in the hospital for one to three days, depending on the recovery plan your surgeon decides is best for you. Recovery time varies, but most people should be able to drive after six to twelve weeks.6 Your surgeon will guide you on when and what activities you can return to and what activities to avoid.
