Prevea orthopedic surgeons first in Green Bay region to offer ROSA® robotic-assisted knee and hip replacement surgery

 As an aging population continues to increase the demand for knee and hip replacements, Prevea Health and HSHS St. Mary’s Hospital Medical Center are pleased to be the first to offer one of the most advanced knee and hip replacement surgical options in the Green Bay region. 

ROSA^®, the Robotic Surgical Assistant, is the latest addition to the growing fleet of advanced surgical technology available to Prevea orthopedic surgeons at HSHS St. Mary’s Hospital Medical Center. ROSA^® is designed to help surgeons tailor procedures, including knee and hip replacements, to the specific anatomy of each patient. 

Operated by highly trained Prevea orthopedic surgeons, ROSA^® offers numerous benefits to patients. This technology enables surgeons to control and move surgical instruments, allowing for greater precision and flexibility during surgeries. These surgeries are also often minimally invasive, which helps reduce complications, recovery times and future revision rates. With robotic-assisted surgery, patients can be confident their implants or instruments are tailored precisely to their specific body types.

“Before and during surgery, we gather images and data of each patient’s knee or hip and its unique positioning. Then, the ROSA^® robot can process that information so our team can personalize the procedure for each of our patients,” says Dr. Patrick Riggle, Prevea Health orthopedic surgeon. “Because we have access to such comprehensive data thanks to this advanced technology, our surgeons can provide pinpoint positioning of the implant.”

“Joints wear down due to aging, weight gain, inactivity, and minor traumas over time - which can lead to very painful and debilitating conditions,” said Dr. Riggle. “This new and innovative approach to hip and knee replacement is exciting for our orthopedics team and for our patients. While traditional methods of hip and knee replacement surgery may still be optimal for many patients, it’s best to discuss all options with your physician.”
