Newport Hospital now has a tool that will help further improve outcomes for patients undergoing knee replacement surgery.
The ROSA Robot allows doctors to make a smaller incision, with reduced scarring and minimal bleeding; reduced injury to nearby tissue; more precise implant placement; and increased longevity of the implant.
