SCHEDULE MY APPOINTMENT
During robotic-assisted knee replacement, small reflective devices called tracking arrays are temporarily pinned to the femur and tibia to give the robotic system a live, three-dimensional view of the patient's bone position throughout the entire procedure. Acting as a GPS for the knee, these arrays link the preoperative CT scan plan to the real anatomy on the operating table, allowing the surgeon to place the implant with sub-millimeter accuracy while haptic boundary technology protects the surrounding soft tissues from unintended damage. Dr. Cory Calendine, an orthopedic surgeon at the Bone and Joint Institute of Tennessee near Nashville, explains how tracking arrays work, why they matter for implant precision and longevity, and what patients should know before their robotic knee replacement surgery.
