Robotic Knee Replacement offers custom, enhanced pre operative planning, the ability to make intra operative adjustments in a virtual environment, and executing the plan at an unprecedented level of precision.
The Direct Anterior Approach is a muscle sparing technique used to perform hip replacement. This technique avoids cutting through muscle tissue and there is no need to detach or reattach any tendons during the surgery.
