WHAT IS COMPUTER-ASSISTED SURGERY?

Computer Assisted Surgery allows surgeons to see a virtual image of hip or knee during surgery. During hip replacement the computer tracks accurate cup placement and equal limb lengths. During knee replacement the computer allows the surgeon to monitor correct limb alignment and implant placement.

Robot Assisted Surgery also tracks alignment , length and implant position and provides live virtual images. During Robot Assisted Surgery the computer has some control over the surgical instruments. The robot assists the surgeon performing key steps of the the operation consistently and precisely according to plan.
