Your experience before surgery will be like that of most knee patients. But, unlike traditional knee replacement methods, with ROSA Knee and Partial Knee, a series of X-rays may be used to create a three-dimensional (3D) model of your knee anatomy. This 3D model will enable the surgeon to plan many specifics of your knee replacement prior to your surgery. Due to our innovative technology, CT Scans can be optional, allowing for potential cost reductions to you.
ROSA® Robotic Technology
You’re unique, and so is your individual anatomy.
ROSA, the Robotic Surgical Assistant, is designed to help your specially-trained surgeon tailor the placement of your knee implant just for you.
Why ROSA Robotic Technology?
Benefits of Robotic Knee Replacement
Patients can potentially save money on their ROSA robotic surgery as the system does not require the use of CT scans1
Less exposure to radiation2
Increased accuracy compared to traditional knee replacement3-4
Better implant positioning, which can result in a more natural-feeling knee after surgery5
Potential for better long-term satisfaction and outcomes6
Surgical precision
Getting a precise knee implant fit is important to your comfort and
overall experience following knee replacement surgery.
Driven by data
ROSA Robotics uses data collected before your surgery and during your surgery to inform your surgeon of many details related to your unique anatomy that may affect your implant fit.
Informed decisions
By using this data to make more informed decisions, your surgeon is able to plan for and carry out a personalized surgery based upon your individual needs.

Important Information
While uncommon, complications can occur during and after surgery. Some complications include, but are not limited to, infection, blood clots, implant breakage, malalignment and premature wear, any of which can require additional surgery. Although implant surgery is extremely successful in most cases, some patients still experience stiffness and pain. No implant will last forever, and factors such as your post-surgery activities and weight can affect longevity. Be sure to discuss these and other risks with your surgeon.
There are many things that your surgeon may do to minimize the potential for complications. Your surgeon may have you see a medical physician before surgery to obtain tests. You may also need to have your dental work up-to-date and may be shown how to prepare your home to avoid falls.
The decision to have surgery is sometimes difficult. We hope that this information has helped you understand the ROSA Knee System so that you can make the best decision for yourself. This information is not intended to replace the human experience and counsel of your orthopedic surgeon. If you have any further questions, please speak with your orthopedic surgeon.
