FirstHealth of the Carolinas has expanded robotic knee replacement surgery options for its patients at Moore Regional Hospital.
Pinehurst Surgical Clinic Orthopaedic Surgeon David Casey, M.D., now offers robotic total knee replacement surgery using the CORI Surgical System at Moore Regional.
Casey notes that a number of new technologies, such as robotics, have changed the way joint replacement surgeries are done.
“No technology is a substitute for a skilled and experienced surgeon, and our orthopaedic department uses an evidence-based approach to develop the best surgical plan for each individual patient,” Casey said in a press release. “For many knee replacement patients, this includes robotics.”
Robotic knee replacement surgery allows the surgeon to enhance the precision and maximize the individualization of the surgery. Tracking devices placed around the knee joint communicate with the robot for the surgeon and the robot to coordinate control of the surgical tools together.
These tools prevent deviation outside the alignment of the surgeon’s plan. The robotic tools allow the surgeon to assess the stability and alignment of the knee and make any necessary adjustments before the surgery is complete.
“These cutting-edge technologies are true game-changers in joint replacement,” added Casey in a press release.“Robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery has the capacity to allow more precision in surgeries, and in turn enhance patient outcomes and recovery times.”
Joint replacement surgery at FirstHealth is usually done with spinal anesthesia and a nerve block around the joint, which is preferred over general anesthesia when possible. This new robotic technology, combined with these anesthesia techniques, helps provide patients with:
“We know that some of the biggest concerns for patients considering knee replacement are fears of the procedure itself and recovery time. Our comprehensive joint replacement program addresses both concerns,” Casey said in a press release. “Our main goals in performing joint replacements are to help people optimize their quality of life and reduce their pain. Our comprehensive program helps us to achieve those goals and get patients home sooner. The best operation is the one that fixes your problem and lasts your lifetime.”
Moore Regional offers patients multiple options for robotic joint replacement surgery. Pinehurst Surgical Clinic Orthopaedic Surgeons John R. Moore, IV, M.D., and Ward S. Oakley, Jr., M.D., also perform total knee replacements using the ROSA® Knee System.
