The robot creates a virtual 3D model of a patient’s knee. For one patient, the technology helped him recover from a joint replacement surgery faster.

“We’re able to optimize the patient’s knee range of motion and also just how that knee moves, meaning how their ligaments are balanced, how tight or loose that knee is — we are really trying to get a sweet spot,” Colin Canham, MD, medical director of the joint replacement center told the station.

 

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
