March 30, 2026- St. Luke’s Health – Patients Medical Center, a member of CommonSpirit, announces the availability of sophisticated robotic-assisted technology for total knee, partial knee and total hip replacement procedures. The new minimally invasive system offers surgeons advanced precision that can lead to better outcomes including less pain and quicker recovery times compared to conventional surgery.
For partial knee replacement, robotic-assisted technology helps surgeons precisely address osteoarthritis in specific areas of the knee, aiming to relieve pain by resurfacing only the damaged portion and preserving surrounding healthy bone. Studies suggest this leads to more accurate implant placement than traditional partial knee procedures. Similarly, for total hip replacement, this innovative system aids surgeons in critical steps like bone preparation and implant positioning, with comparative research indicating a potential for greater bone preservation over manual techniques.
