ROSA® Shoulder for Robotic Shoulder Replacement

 

 

Overview

Understanding Robotic-Assisted Shoulder Replacement

You’re unique, and so is your individual anatomy. That’s why Zimmer Biomet offers ROSA® Shoulder robotic technology. ROSA®, which stands for Robotic Surgical Assistant, is designed to help your surgeon tailor the placement of your shoulder implant just for you. 

 

 

When is Robotic-Assisted Surgery Used?

In situations where accuracy1 and personalization are particularly beneficial, your surgeon may recommend robotic-assisted shoulder replacement surgery.

ROSA® Shoulder uses data collected before and during surgery to inform your shoulder 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 can plan for and carry out a personalized shoulder replacement based on your individual needs.

How Does Robotic Shoulder Replacement Work?

Before Shoulder Replacement Surgery

Your experience before surgery will be like that of most shoulder replacement patients. A CT scan will be used to create a 3D model of your shoulder. This 3D model will enable your surgeon to plan many specifics of your shoulder replacement before your surgery.

During Shoulder Replacement Surgery

The ROSA® Shoulder robot uses a camera and optical trackers to know exactly where your shoulder is in space. This helps ensure that the plan your surgeon put into place is executed as intended. Throughout your surgery, the ROSA® Shoulder robot provides your surgeon with data about your shoulder. This information, combined with your surgeon’s skill, helps them know how to position your implant based on your unique anatomy.

After Shoulder Replacement Surgery

You may return home the same day or remain in the hospital for one to three days, depending on the recovery plan your surgeon decides is best for you. Recovery time varies, but most people should be able to drive after six to twelve weeks.2 Your surgeon will guide you on when and what activities you can return to and what activities to avoid.
