Computer Assisted Surgery (CAS)

New surgical navigation technology is revolutionizing orthopedic surgery. Computer assisted surgery (CAS) is currently in use by Dr. Tim Rankin at Prosser Memorial Hospital. This progressive hip and knee joint replacement technology is an overwhelming success for patients. CAS procedures deliver significant advantages over traditional surgical techniques.

CAS brings together the proven benefits of minimally invasive surgery with computer-guided implant placement to virtually eliminate implant misalignments and significantly reduce overall recovery times.

CAS works like a global positioning system, GPS, in your car by using fixed locations in the body particular to each patient. The surgeon uses CAS to locate specific anatomical landmarks to take critical measurements of the patient’s anatomy. The computer tracks the precise position of the patient’s body, the implant, and the surgeon’s instruments at all times. The surgeon still performs the surgery; CAS simply puts all the information together for a more precise alignment.

The first place to offer this innovative CAS technology in southeastern Washington is Prosser Memorial Hospital.

For more information about CAS, call Mt. Adams Surgical Associates at (509) 786-5599.
