Robotic Orthopedic Surgery
Lake Norman Regional Medical Center provides minimally invasive surgical options that allow surgeons to perform complex procedures through small incisions. With minimally invasive surgical procedures, patients may experience a shorter hospital stay, quicker recovery and less scarring.
Robotic-assisted partial knee replacement offers new treatment options for those living with painful early to mid-stage osteoarthritis of the knee, affecting only one or two components of the knee, and who prefer a less invasive surgery and more rapid recovery than total knee arthroplasty.
Computer modeling of the patient’s pre-surgical plan using CT scan data and real-time visual, tactile and auditory feedback during the procedure facilitates ideal implant positioning and placement. It is this level of planning and surgical accuracy in treating earlier stage knee osteoarthritis that can result in a more natural feeling knee and motion.
Our three-dimensional imaging navigational system gives surgeons a way to navigate a patient’s spine — like a car’s GPS. Before surgery, the navigational system obtains imaging data, allowing a live, 3-D view to be used during surgery. Our navigational system offers improved accuracy while saving time in the operating room.
In many case, patients are permitted to walk soon after surgery, drive a car within two weeks and return to normal daily activities shortly thereafter.
