MCHI is pleased to announce the addition of the ROSA® Robotic Knee System, now available at Memorial Hospital’s Wortman Surgery Center in Aurora. This advanced technology assists visiting orthopedic surgeons in performing total knee replacements with greater precision and a more personalized approach to each patient’s unique anatomy.
ROSA, short for Robotic Surgical Assistant, uses real-time data and a state-of-the-art robotic platform to guide surgical decisions. By capturing precise measurements throughout the procedure, the system helps surgeons tailor implant placement to each patient, aiming to improve comfort, function, and overall outcomes.
“This is an exciting advancement for our healthcare system,” said Carrie Peterson, RN, Surgery Supervisor. “ROSA allows orthopedic specialists to offer the latest in surgical technology right here in Aurora, giving patients access to leading-edge care close to home.”
Visiting orthopedic specialists Dr. Seth Wardyn and Dr. David Clare, who see patients at Memorial Hospital, are trained in robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery. Their expertise, combined with ROSA’s precision, ensures patients receive leading-edge care and improved recovery outcomes.
Knee replacement candidates often include those with chronic knee pain from osteoarthritis, stiffness that limits mobility, or difficulty with daily activities despite nonsurgical treatments such as medication, therapy, or injections.
Patients choosing Memorial Hospital’s Wortman Surgery Center benefit from a skilled surgical team, advanced technology, and the convenience of receiving expert care locally.
