MAJOR MILESTONE – 25,000 TKRS/5,000 BALANCEBOTS – FOR CORIN
London, UK-based Corin has announced that its OMNIBotics robotic-assisted platform has recently completed 25,000 total knee arthroplasties (TKA), including 5,000 procedures using the company’s BalanceBot ligament balancing robotic device.
Jeffrey H. DeClaire, M.D. of the DeClaire LaMacchia Orthopedic Institute, in Rochester, Michigan, is one of the first orthopedic surgeons to use BalanceBot. In his opinion, “OMNIBotics, and the use of the BalanceBot device, is a significant improvement to the field of knee replacement. The ability to plan implant position to best balance the knee’s soft tissues using the Predictive Balance software, on top of the consistency and reproducibility that comes with robotics, is remarkable. The immediate results are noticeable and I’m excited to continue monitoring my patients and track their recoveries.”
