Parkwest Robotic-Assisted Surgical Options for Orthopedic and Spinal Procedures

Surgical robotics options are available to orthopedic and spine patients at Parkwest.

Why Robotics?

Using robotic-assisted platforms allows our surgeons to pre-plan each orthopedic and spinal procedure, and make adjustments as needed for each patient’s anatomy. In addition, research shows that accuracy in the placement of a prosthetic (such as a knee replacement) can provide better outcomes for patients.

Parkwest offers a variety of robotic-assisted surgical options for our surgical patients. Our surgeons who perform robotic-assisted procedures are specially trained and certified on each available platform they use.
