Simple daily movements such as walking and bending the knee become painful making it difficult for people to improve their quality of life.
Each joint has cartilage, ie a natural “absorbent” material. When the joint is healthy, this “rubber” material protects the bones, reduces friction and absorbs vibrations. Over time, the joints harden and the cartilage becomes more vulnerable. At the same time, repeated use of the joints irritates the cartilage and when it is worn out, the bone rubs against the adjacent bone, causing pain and restricting mobility.
In recent years, developments in total knee arthroplasty are significant as new surgical techniques with the help of robotic systems allow the most accurate planning of operations, offering great safety to patients.
The Metropolitan General, has the new state-of-the-art robotic orthopedic surgery system ROSA® Knee System of the company ZIMMER BIOMET. This is the most modern and advanced system of robotic assistance for orthopedic surgeries that offers the possibility of extremely accurate placement of knee arthroplasties.
Why choose arthroplasty with the ROSA® Knee System?
• It has extremely detailed software that gives information to the orthopedic surgeon both preoperatively and intraoperatively, to select the best surgical technique.
• Multi-motion robotic arm indicates the exact position in which the surgical manipulations should be performed.
• The artificial joint is implanted based on anthropometric characteristics of the patient, which leads to a very good postoperative result and longer life of the implants.
• The correct geometry of the artificial joint leads to precise alignment of the limb while achieving absolute joint stability.
• Monitoring the patient’s anatomy data in real time through special software, provides the appropriate feedback control to the doctor and at the same time helps to achieve personalized adjustment based on his needs.
• The detailed surgical technique it offers helps to minimize complications and speed up postoperative recovery.
At Metropolitan General all patients are recorded in detail in an international medical database for continuous quality control of the services offered.
