When it comes to orthopedic care, precision and innovation make all the difference.
Recently, our team visited Novant Health’s Kernersville Medical Center to learn about their latest advancement in robotic total knee replacement surgery — and it’s unlike anything else currently offered in the surrounding area.
Slade Moore, MD, a Novant Health orthopedic surgeon fellowship-trained at Massachusetts General Hospital, demonstrated how this state-of-the-art robot allows them to create a detailed surgical plan before the procedure even begins. During surgery, the technology ensures exact cuts and movements, providing a higher level of accuracy while protecting surrounding tissue.
It’s one more way Novant Health is leading the way with technology designed to improve outcomes and elevate patient care.
How it works
Before surgery, the physician uses the robot to map out a precise plan tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy, helping ensure the most accurate joint alignment possible.
Incredible precision
During the procedure, the surgeon guides the robot to ensure pinpoint accuracy and optimal placement of the implant.
Gentler on the body
Because the robot allows for smaller adjustments, there’s less need to manipulate soft tissue, which can reduce post-surgery pain and swelling.
Advanced care, close to home
Patients no longer have to travel far for leading-edge care because this innovative procedure is now available at Novant Health in Kernersville.
