Our Approach to Robotic Technology
ROC works with industry leaders in surgical robotics to bring a new level of accuracy and precision to joint replacement surgery.
How Robotics Are Redifining Orthopedic Surgery
Meet the MAKO® Robotic-Arm System
Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted surgery enables a new level of accuracy and precision for joint replacement surgery. Mako is used by our surgeons for partial knee resurfacing, total knee replacements, and total hip replacements. The surgeon controlled robotic arm helps surgeons get a patient-specific image and more precisely place and align implants used in joint replacement surgery.
Meet the ROSA® Robotic-Knee System
The goal of a robotic knee replacement is the same as a traditional knee replacement procedure: to help patients with severe knee arthritis regain mobility. With the addition of the ROSA Knee System, ROC surgeons offer total knee replacement patients less pain, increased longevity of the implant, reduced blood loss, reduced likelihood of injury, and a quicker return to the full range of motion.
MAKO® Robotic-Arm System
Pre-Surgery
A personalized plan. It begins with a CT scan of the joint that is used to generate a 3D virtual model of your unique anatomy. This virtual model is loaded into the Mako system software and is used to create a personalized pre-operative plan.
In the Operating Room
During surgery, your surgeon guides the robotic-arm while preparing the joint and positioning the implant based on the personalized pre-operative plan. The Mako system also allows the surgeon to make adjustments to the plan during surgery, as needed. When the surgeon prepares the bone for the implant, the Mako system guides the surgeon within the pre-defined area and helps prevent the surgeon from moving outside the planned boundaries. This helps provide more accurate placement and alignment of the implant.
After Surgery
Your surgeon, nurses and physical therapists will set goals to get you moving again. They will closely monitor your condition and progress. Your surgeon may review an X-ray of the new joint replacement with you.

Benefits to robotic surgery using the ROSA® Knee System include:
- ROSA™ uses data from two-dimensional X-Rays to produce a highly accurate three-dimensional virtual image of your knee
- Accurate and precise cuts in the bone, result in well-placed implant components
- ROSA™ allows your surgeon to personalize your implant placement, achieving a more natural-feeling knee
