Robots are already being used to perform all kinds medical procedures these days. The TSolution One System from THINK Surgical is a surgical robot for total knee replacement. It offers open platform choice for implant options. This system comes with TPLAN, a 3D pre-surgical planning workstation and TCAT robot.
Surgeons can use the planning software to design a roadmap for joint replacement while the active robot can execute pre-planned procedures. Centennial Hills Hospital Medical Center is the first hospital in the western United States to use this system to perform a TKR procedure.
