The ROSA Robot – a state-of-art knee replacement system – recently became available at Newport Hospital.
The technology 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.
University Orthopedics’ surgeon, Dr. Mouhanad El Othmani recently detailed what the ROSA means for patients in a recent article in the Newport Daily News.
