  1. Scan: It starts with a CT scan, so our team can know more about your knee’s anatomy.
  2. Plan: The CT scan is used to create a 3D CT-based model of your knee. After that our surgical team uses this 3D model to create a personalized surgical plan.
  3. Procedure: With the surgeon guiding the robotic arm within the predefined area and advanced technology, the surgeon stays within the planned boundaries defined in the personalized surgical plan to prepare the bone for the knee implant.
