ROSA Orthopedic Robotic Surgery Center

Mobility means independence, comfort, and the freedom to enjoy everyday activities. Within the Robotic Orthopedic Surgery Center, the medical team's experience and ROSA technology support a personalized treatment for patients who require knee replacement. The objective is to reduce pain and improve joint function, ensuring a better quality of life.

Precision and planning tailored to each patient's anatomy

The ROSA robotic system provides the surgeon with real-time data regarding the knee's anatomy and kinematics. These data allow for adjustments to the surgical plan and support the positioning of the prosthesis components, taking into account the unique characteristics of the joint and soft-tissue balance. The surgeon coordinates the entire procedure and makes all surgical decisions, assisted by robotic technology.

Robotic assistance supports:

• Personalization of the surgical plan.

• Precise execution of the bone resections required for arthroplasty.

• Intraoperative joint balancing assessment.

• Adjustment of the prosthesis components' position according to the patient's anatomy.

The recommendation for robotic-assisted knee arthroplasty is determined following an orthopedic consultation and the necessary investigations. The medical team assesses the specifics of each case and discusses treatment options, benefits, and recovery expectations with the patient.

At Medicover Hospital Cluj, patients have access to integrated services in orthopedics, imaging, anesthesiology and intensive care, as well as physical rehabilitation. Care encompasses the entire journey, from initial evaluation and surgical preparation to the recovery of mobility after the intervention.

What is ROSA?

ROSA Knee is a robotic surgical assistant system used at Medicover Hospital Cluj for knee replacement procedures. The name stands for “Robotic Surgical Assistant”.

The system provides the surgeon with information about the knee's anatomy and kinematics, helping tailor the intervention to each patient. The technology supports surgical planning, bone preparation, and implant positioning. The surgeon controls the entire procedure and makes all medical decisions.

Benefits of ROSA-assisted knee arthroplasty

ROSA technology assists the surgeon in performing an intervention tailored to each patient's anatomy, with precision in bone preparation and implant placement.

• Personalized surgical plan
  The intervention is planned and adjusted based on the knee's unique characteristics, using data collected prior to and during surgery.

• More precise implant positioning
  Robotic assistance helps the surgeon adhere to the planned alignment and reduce component placement outliers.

• Assessment of joint balance
  ROSA provides data regarding soft tissues and joint gaps, supporting the necessary adjustments to achieve knee balance.

• Precision in bone preparation
  The system assists the surgeon in performing the bone cuts required for implant placement, according to the patient-specific plan.

• Potential advantages in early recovery
  Some studies have observed better knee flexion and less pain in the first months following surgery compared to conventional arthroplasty. These benefits are not uniformly observed across all studies.

Recovery varies from one patient to another and depends on overall health status, the specifics of the procedure, and adherence to the recommended rehabilitation program.
