Robot Assisted Total Knee Surgery Comes to Colorado Springs

Posted on: 26-Jun-2019

If you are a candidate for total knee surgery, you may wonder about the accuracy of robot assisted surgery.

Tyler R. Bron, MD, Michael Feign, DO, David ‘Alex’ Forrester, MD, and Eric K. Jepson, MD, of Colorado Springs Orthopaedic Group are excited to pilot an innovative technology that will assist in total knee replacement surgery. They are among the first physicians in the Springs to use the Mako Robot. We’re thrilled to bring medical technologies to Southern Colorado that are traditionally only available in major cities. This robotic arm is specially designed to give the accuracy of robot assisted surgery and customization to total joint replacements. Patients can rest assured that the Mako Robot is safe and regulated by many safety features.

Patients frequently ask if the robot itself performs the surgery

No is the simple answer:

  • The surgeon sets up and controls the robotic arm during the entire procedure.
  • The process starts with a CT scan of the joint that helps create a 3D model of your knee.
  • Stryker’s Mako Software then creates a unique plan for your specific surgery.
  • In the operating room, the surgeon guides the robotic arm within the predefined area and marks off boundaries for the surgery.

Accuracy of robot assisted surgery

Because of the combination of a 3D model of your knee as well as the doctor’s physical assessment of its range of motion, this prosthetic is customized to each individual person’s anatomy. The physician is also able to direct the arm and make minor adjustments as the procedure continues. All of this combined with strict safety protocols makes the accuracy of robot assisted surgery a secure new way to help patients get the most out of their joint replacements.
