The ultimate knee replacement experience comes to West Palm Beach

Palm Beach Orthopaedic Institute offers new robotics-assisted surgical option

The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons estimates knee replacement surgeries are expected to increase a staggering 180% between now and 2030 in United States1. In Palm Beach County alone, Dr. Jonathan Shaw is one of the few surgeons performing robotic knee revisions.

What’s especially troubling for many doctors is the number of patients who are unaware of robotics-assisted procedures and recent advancements that have been made in the field of orthopaedics.  

“I tell the majority of my patients to forget everything they thought they knew about knee surgery,” Dr. Jonathan Shaw, Palm Beach Orthopaedic Institute, said. “Within the last few years, the advancements in robotics-assisted knee surgery alone have been a game changer for my patients.”

A recent survey conducted by global implant maker, Smith+Nephew and Kantar showed procedure fears and recovery time were the biggest concerns patients had about moving forward, but they expressed near-unanimous interest in discussing robotics-assisted knee surgery with their physician. 

Robotics-assisted knee replacement surgery using the CORITM Surgical System combined with the features and benefits of Smith+Nephew’s implant portfolio can lead to the following patient benefits:

• Quicker, smoother recovery2
• Regain function faster and return home sooner3
• A unique plan: We use 3D digital modeling to get a surgical plan customized to the patients’ unique anatomy. This means our surgeon can perform the procedure more accurately than traditional knee replacement surgery.4,5 
• A natural fit: Using these technologies patients can keep more of their natural bone and ligaments, including the ACL. 6 That helps maintain more of a natural rhythm and step.7 
• A wide selection: Our surgeon is able to choose from the widest selection of implants available, so implants can be precision-matched to feel more like a patient’s own knee.

Palm Beach Orthopaedic Institute recently upgraded its robotics-assisted knee surgery offerings to include the CORI Surgical System.
