Robotic Assistance in Knee Surgery: Enhancing Precision and Outcomes

Updated: 4 days ago

Robotic technology is transforming knee surgeries, offering greater precision and potentially better patient outcomes. At SORI, our recent study, "Robotic Assessment of Patella Tracking in Total Knee Arthroplasty," explores this advancement.


Understanding Robotic Assistance in Knee Surgery

Robotic systems assist surgeons by providing real-time data and enhanced control during procedures. This technology allows for more accurate alignment and placement of implants, which is crucial for the success of knee arthroplasty.


SORI's Contribution

Our research focuses on using robotics to assess patella (kneecap) tracking during total knee arthroplasty. By dynamically evaluating the patellofemoral joint before and after implant placement, we aim to improve surgical techniques and patient outcomes.


The integration of robotic technology in knee surgery represents a significant leap forward. SORI remains at the forefront of this innovation, striving to enhance surgical precision and patient care.
