Jennie Stuart Health Orthopaedics has reached a major milestone, becoming the first orthopaedic group in Kentucky to complete 1,000 robotic knee replacements using the state-of-the-art ROSA robotic system from Zimmer Biomet. This achievement is a testament to the expertise and innovation of the surgeons at Jennie Stuart Health Orthopaedics, including Dr. Timothy Chang, Dr. David Bealle, and Dr. Rudy Robbe, who have been pivotal in integrating robotic-assisted surgery into their practice.
The ROSA (Robotic Surgical Assistant) system enhances precision during knee replacement procedures by providing real-time imaging and 3D mapping of the knee joint. This allows the surgeons to plan and execute surgeries with exceptional accuracy, ensuring optimal implant alignment and positioning. The result is a more personalized and precise approach to knee replacement, which can improve long-term outcomes for patients.
For patients, robotic-assisted knee surgery offers numerous benefits. The minimally invasive nature of the procedure means smaller incisions, less tissue disruption, and reduced postoperative pain. As a result, patients experience faster recovery times, less swelling, and a quicker return to their daily activities. Additionally, the system helps to minimize the risk of complications, ensuring a smoother recovery process.
Dr. Chang, Dr. Bealle, and Dr. Robbe, along with the entire Jennie Stuart Health Orthopaedics team, have embraced this advanced technology to improve patient care. The personalized treatment options made possible by the ROSA robot allow for more customized procedures based on each patient’s unique anatomy, further enhancing the likelihood of a successful outcome.
With the completion of 1,000 robotic knee replacements, Jennie Stuart Health Orthopaedics continues to lead the way in delivering cutting-edge care, setting the standard for knee replacement surgery in Kentucky.
