Thibodaux Regional Health System recently acquired the ROSA Knee System, the world’s most advanced robotic-assisted surgery system for total knee replacement.
Total joint replacement is one of the most commonly performed elective surgical procedures in the United States. The ROSA Knee System enables the surgeon to use computer and software technology to control and move surgical instruments, allowing for greater precision and flexibility during total joint replacement procedures. The System brings together robotic technology with industry-leading knee implants to help the surgeon personalize surgical procedures for patients.
“We are excited to be able to bring this innovative technology to our region,” said Greg Stock, CEO, Thibodaux Regional. “This new robotic-assisted technology will benefit patients and enhance patient safety and improve the overall quality of orthopaedic patient care.”
Thibodaux Regional’s first robotic-assisted total knee replacement was performed by Eric Greber, MD, the only fellowship trained orthopaedic joint replacement and reconstruction specialist in the region.
“The patient is our main focus,” said Greber. “For everyone involved, including the surgeon but most importantly the patient, the robotic-assisted knee replacement offers a number of key benefits and advantages. We know the decision to have a joint replacement is often a difficult one for patients but we believe that robotic-assisted technologies have the potential to make it an easier decision going forward.”
