[00:00:00]Robotic knee replacement in its current iteration is using high-speed cameras and machinery to place usually the saw, the cutting device, in space in an accurate [music] manner.

[00:00:13]The goal is to add precision and accuracy to the work of the surgeon.

[00:00:19]I describe it to patients as a tool that if you were to survey your yard, for instance, you're going to use a laser surveying tool. Or if you hang multiple pictures in your house, you're going to use a laser leveler. You're going to use these tools because they save you time.

[00:00:35]And there are parts of the knee replacement procedure, which is a very lengthy procedure in terms of the steps involved, not in the overall time, but the amount of steps, about 150 steps to the procedure, where robotics can help in where that saw is in space because it saves you time among the saw cuts.
