Global medical technology leader Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. announced the successful completion of the world’s first robotic-assisted shoulder replacement surgery using its ROSA Shoulder System. The surgery was performed at Mayo Clinic by Dr. John W. Sperling, Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and a key contributor to the ROSA Shoulder development team.
"The debut of ROSA Shoulder marks an incredible milestone for Zimmer Biomet, and we are honored to have the first patient case performed by Dr. Sperling, who is widely recognized for his expertise in shoulder reconstruction," said Ivan Tornos, President and Chief Executive Officer at Zimmer Biomet. "ROSA Shoulder reinforces our pursuit of delivering innovative solutions that help surgeons perform complex orthopedic procedures."
"Adding robotic surgical assistance to shoulder replacement surgery has the potential to transform intra-operative and post-operative outcomes while improving the overall patient experience," said Dr. Sperling.
ROSA Shoulder received U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance in February 2024 and is designed for both anatomic and reverse shoulder replacement techniques, enabling precise implant placement. It supports data-informed decision-making based on a patient's unique anatomy.
Pre-operatively, ROSA Shoulder integrates with the Signature ONE 2.0 Surgical Planning System, using a 3D image-based approach for visualization and planning. During surgery, it provides real-time data to help execute and validate personalized plans for accurate implant placement. The system aims to reduce complications, enhance clinical outcomes, and improve patient satisfaction.
ROSA Shoulder enhances ZBEdge Dynamic Intelligence solutions, offering advanced technology and a robust portfolio of shoulder implant systems for a personalized patient experience.
