More than 200 patients of the BSMU Clinic returned to a full life thanks to robotic endoprosthesis knee replacement

The BSMU Clinic carries out robotic knee replacement on the Cuvis Joint robotic system. This is not just an operation, but a rehabilitation program that allows patients to quickly return to a full life.

The robotic system helps the surgeon accurately determine the position and size of the prosthesis, take into account the anatomical characteristics of the patient and warn of the risk of tissue damage, which minimizes the likelihood of errors. The robot reproduces the patient's anatomy in advance and performs surgery on its own. This operation takes about 40 minutes. For 2 years, the technological procedure helped more than 200 patients.

«No matter how offensive it may sound, the skill of the robot surpasses the skill of a virtuoso surgeon by 10 times. That's the thing. The robotic digital revolution has happened!» - the head of the Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics of the Bashkir State Medical University of the Ministry of Health of Russia, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor Bulat Minasov comments.

Students are often present at such operations, they are clearly shown the process of visual planning, navigation, installation of the apparatus and data verification.

«We and other residents here not only watch operations, but also take a direct part, which we are very happy about,» Liana Gafarova, resident of the Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics of BSMU says
