Robotic Surgeries

Advanced surgical navigation software allows us to plan the surgery on a 3D model, refine it with data during the procedure, and personalize joint replacement for each patient and ensure proper sizing of implants. The robotic arm helps with precision bone preparation and placement of implants in the ideal position.
