Knee Replacement

Next-Generation Knee Replacement

ROSA® Knee Robotic Technology and the Persona IQ® Smart Knee Implant represent the next step in orthopedic innovation and are available at Calais Community Hospital. CCH is the only hospital in Maine performing total knee replacement with both the ROSA Knee System and Persona IQ Smart Knee technologies. These innovative technologies can be used in tandem or independently.

ROSA Knee Robotic Technology

A New Way to Keep You Moving

Osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis, is a wear-and-tear condition that destroys joint cartilage and bone. It typically develops after years of constant motion and pressure in the joints. As the cartilage continues to wear away, the joint becomes increasingly painful and difficult to move. If conservative treatment options fail to provide relief, your surgeon may recommend total knee replacement using ROSA Knee robotic technology.

ROSA which stands for Robotic Surgical Assistant, is designed to help your specially trained surgeon tailor the placement of your knee implant just for you. Getting a precise knee implant fit is important to your comfort and overall experience following knee replacement surgery.

ROSA Knee uses data collected before and during surgery to inform your surgeon of many details related to your unique anatomy that may affect your implant fit. By using this data to make more informed decisions, your surgeon is able to plan for and carry out a personalized surgery based upon your individual needs.

Benefits of ROSA Knee Robotic Technology include:

Faster recovery with earlier improvements in range of motion and function compared to traditional total knee replacement
Less exposure to radiation compared to CT-based robotic knee replacement
Improved accuracy and implant positioning compared to traditional knee replacement
