1. The hospital acquired the ExactechGPS, a guided personalized surgery technology, in December 2017.
2. The robot provides a 3D visual map of the patient’s joint to help surgeons better understand the patient’s anatomy before entering the operating room.
3. Orthopedic surgeons Rick Papandrea, MD, Scott Schneider, MD, Christopher Kilian, MD, and Samuel Steiner, MD, performed the 163 shoulder replacements.
“The innovative navigation offered by ExactechGPS pairs the surgeon’s expertise and an advanced computer system with the goal of improved accuracy and precision,” John May, ProHealth’s vice president of ambulatory services, told Greater Milwaukee Today Online. “This technology offers significant benefits for our patients.”
