LITTLE ROCK - Surgeons at OrthoArkansas in Little Rock, performed the state's first robotic-assisted knee replacement with ROSA (robotic surgical assistant) technology in an outpatient surgery center on Aug. 6, 2020. Surgery assisted with ROSA technology is unique because the robot accurately uses data collected before, during, and after surgery to inform the surgeon of the many details related to a patient's unique anatomy.
OrthoArkansas performs close to 2300 knee replacements each year. By having total joint replacements done in outpatient surgery centers, it allows patients to have surgery in a more convenient environment and recover in the comfort of their own homes that evening.
