Using sophisticated robot-assisted technology, Metropolitan General offers you high-performance orthopedic knee surgery (arthroplasty), deploying the most advanced robot-assisted systems, ROSA and NAVIO.
Such machines are operated by Metropolitan General's orthopedic surgeons, who have been certified, following specific training in dedicated training centers. At the same time, we take all steps to ensure that patient surgery data are fully recorded to continuously monitor the quality of our provided services.
ROSA Robot-Assisted System|closed
An ultra-modern and advanced robot-assisted system, which delivers high-performance knee arthroplasty.
Advantages
- Multi-motion robotic arm that indicates the exact site in which surgical handling should be performed
- Highly sophisticated software that provides valuable information to the orthopedic surgeon, combining both preoperative study data and intraoperative data to help select the optimal surgical approach
- The artificial joint is implanted based on the anthropometric characteristics of each patient individually, thus delivering an excellent postoperative outcome
- The correct geometry of the artificial joint leads to precise limb alignment while achieving absolute ligament balancing and stabilizing
- Real-time monitoring of patient anatomic data through special software provides the surgeon with the appropriate feedback control, while, at the same time, it helps achieve individualized adjustment based on each patient's needs.
- Minimal complications
- Faster postoperative recovery
- The system's operation is combined with the ability of multiple choices of arthroplasty implants to opt for the optimal choice for each patient individually.
In Greece, the first knee arthroplasties using the NAVIO robot-assisted system were performed at the Metropolitan General.
It is one of the most modern and innovative robot-assisted orthopedic surgery systems, approved by the NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information, USA), which enables the performance of millimeter-precision and highly effective arthroplasties.
Advantages
- Procedure simulation before the initiation of surgical handlings
- Less patient exposure to radiation, as no preoperative CT-scan is needed
- High resolution and detailed reporting on the tension of knee ligaments during the procedure
- Ability to apply 6 different types of knee arthroplasty, based on the age and activity level of each patient
- Minimal possibility for complications
- Easier and faster recovery
