Developed by Zimmer Biomet, ROSA Knee features 3D preoperative planning tools and intraoperative data on soft tissue and bone anatomy to improve bone cut accuracy and range of motion gap analysis.

The system collects data to help surgeons make more informed decisions on patient care.

Surgeons at CHI St. Alexius Health are training with the robot and will begin offering it for knee replacements in the coming weeks.
