Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. announced the successful completion of the world’s first robotic-assisted shoulder replacement surgery using its ROSA Shoulder System. John W. Sperling, MD, MBA, Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and a key contributor to the ROSA Shoulder development team performed the surgery.
ROSA Shoulder received U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance in February 2024 and is designed to give surgeons the flexibility to execute a total shoulder replacement using anatomic or reverse techniques. ROSA Shoulder is designed to support data-informed physician decision-making based on a patient's unique anatomy.
The system integrates pre-operatively with the newly released Signature ONE 2.0 Surgical Planning System, which uses a 3-D image-based approach for visualization of humeral and glenoid anatomy, and surgical planning. During the surgery, the platform provides surgeons with real-time, intra-operative data to help control, execute, and validate personalized plans for accurate glenoid and humeral implant placement.
“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 practiced expertise in shoulder reconstruction,” said Ivan Tornos, Zimmer Biomet President and CEO. “ROSA Shoulder reinforces our dedicated pursuit to deliver first-to-world innovative solutions that help surgeons perform complex orthopedic procedures.”
Dr. Sperling commented, “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.”
