Benefis Health System in Great Falls became the first system in Montana to utilize the Zimmer Biomet Rosa Knee System surgical robot, 3KRTV reported Jan. 26.
Jace Bullard, MD, an orthopedic surgeon specialist at Benefis, performed the first surgery using the system.
The robot uses optical trackers and cameras to allow knee surgeons to increase incision accuracy and precision. Rosa also provides data during the surgery to allow for adjustments in real time if necessary, the report said.
