In the surgery, Dr. Martin follows your surgical plan while preparing your bone with the robotic arm. We self-guide the robotic arm to the planned areas and the arm provides feedback to maintain boundaries created by your plan to position the implant in the knee or hip joints. The system also allows us to make adjustments to the plan during surgery based on your anatomy. Laboratory studies have shown that the robotic arm allows for accurate placement of implants, protection of soft tissue, and preservation of ligaments.
