Golden Valley Memorial Healthcare is earning national recognition for excellence in orthopedic innovation as James Womack, MD, Orthopedic Surgeon, has been published in the Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics for his pioneering work with a next-generation handheld robotic system designed for total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
“This research represents an exciting step forward in how we approach joint replacement surgery,” said Dr. James Womack. “Our goal is always to provide patients with the safest, most precise and most effective care possible.”
This peer-reviewed study, “A Novel Handheld Wireless Robot for Total Knee Arthroplasty: Early Experiences and Clinical Results,” presents compelling early clinical findings showing that the compact wireless robotic device delivers highly precise alignment, strong functional outcomes and efficient operating times, all with no reported adverse events. The technology has the potential to significantly broaden access to robotic joint replacement by offering the accuracy of larger systems in a more versatile, streamlined format.
