Robotic technology use is growing across the country, and WashU Ortho proud to be a pioneer in robotic joint replacement. Using that surgical blueprint, the robot allows WashU Ortho surgeons to cut only what is planned and make adjustments in real time, protecting healthy bone. Using advanced imaging, WashU Ortho surgeons visualize a patient's anatomy with a 3D model and create a personalized joint replacement plan. Utilization of robotic technology begins well before surgery.with sophisticated surgical planning software. The difference is that it is done with the assistance of a robotic arm, which helps surgeons maximize precise cuts and patient outcomes.
