I hate to ruin surprises, but the answer is a resounding YES. As a kid, I believed one day I would be zipping around in a flying car and have a robot at home like The Jetsons. Well, my car doesn’t fly, but I do have a robot helping me perform surgery, and that’s pretty cool.
You might ask yourself, why is this doc excited about a robot? It’s because this technology is changing the way we treat knee osteoarthritis (OA), and the results are amazing. Osteoarthritis is a common cause of disability and over 600,000 total knee replacements (TKRs) are performed annually as a result. This means a lot of people need new knees.
