What are the Available Robotic Systems in 2023 - MSK RADAR

Description

In this presentation, Akash Sharma, a consultant knee surgeon at the Royal Orthopedic Hospital in Birmingham, discusses the various robotic systems available for personalized knee replacements in the UK market as of 2023. He begins by introducing the Mako robotic system, highlighting its comprehensive workflow that begins with a pre-operative CT scan and allows for detailed planning of knee replacements in a 3D space. The Mako system features haptic technology to ensure controlled and accurate cuts, significantly reducing soft tissue injuries during surgery. Sharma then moves on to explain the ROSA robotic system, which offers both image-based and imageless capabilities for precise knee replacement planning, emphasizing the importance of soft tissue balance during the procedure.



Further, he introduces the CORI system, an advanced iteration of Navio, which provides improved cutting efficiency and ergonomic design. Sharma also outlines the unique features of the OMNIBotics robotic system, which focuses on proximal tibia cuts first and integrates a robotic ligament tensioner for enhanced knee positioning. Finally, he touches on the new Skywalker robot by MicroPort Orthopedics, detailing its preoperative planning capabilities and motion sensor technology that prevents errors during surgery. He mentions the Velys system, noting its lack of haptic feedback compared to other robots. In conclusion, he summarizes the current robotic offerings in the UK, emphasizing their significance in the evolving landscape of knee surgery.
