Two Phoenix Spine & Joint surgery centers located in Goodyear, Ariz., and Scottsdale, Ariz. purchased two Navio Surgical Systems, allowing orthopedic surgeons to perform robotics-assisted total knee replacement procedures.
Here are the key details to know:
1. The Navio system along with the Journey II XR Total Knee Implant is designed to help a patient's anterior cruciate ligament and posterior cruciate ligament to stay in place after surgery.
2. The Navio system uses patient specific data to construct a 3D model of the patient's knee the surgeon can use to perform a customized procedure. During surgery, surgeons use the handheld robotics-assisted Navio tool and patient-specific cut guides based on the preoperative surgical plan.
3. "As we expanded our services to include knee and hip replacement, we felt it necessary to continue to seek out leading-edge technology such as Navio to help ensure that every procedure performed at our centers are conducted as safely and effectively as possible," said Daniel Lieberman, MD, neurosurgeon of medical director of Phoenix Spine & Joint.
