NAVIO Robotics-Assisted Partial Knee Replacement
You Don’t Have to Live With Knee Pain Anymore!
Newberry Hospital is the first hospital in South Carolina to offer the total knee replacement with the NAVIO® Surgical System.
The NAVIO system is an advancement in the way our orthopedic surgeons perform partial and total knee replacements. The system works in conjunction with our surgeon's skilled hands to achieve the precise positioning of the knee implant based on each patient's unique anatomy. This added level of accuracy can help improve the function, feel and potential longevity of the knee implant. Through an advanced computer program, the NAVIO system provides robotic assistance that relays precise information about your knee to a robotics-assisted handpiece used by our surgeons during the procedure. By collecting patient-specific data, boundaries are established for the handpiece so we can remove the damaged surfaces of your knee, balance your joint, and position your implant with greater precision. All of this is accomplished using the software rather than a radiation-intensive CT-scan.
Advanced planning software allows the surgeon to tailor the procedure to each patient.
