Robossis
Mike Donoghue, Fractional COO

At Robossis, we are developing the world’s first surgical robotic platform for orthopedic trauma surgery. The current landscape of orthopedic robotic platforms is concentrated in the total joint and spine segments, with fracture surgery currently being ignored. Surgeons treating long bone fractures of the femur and tibia utilize crude alignment and reduction techniques which result in poor clinical outcomes including a malalignment rate of up to 30% and a reoperation rate up to 20%. To solve this complex clinical problem, the Robossis system features a 3-arm parallel robot attached to the fractured bone and its configuration allows for motion in 6 degrees of freedom. Utilizing pre-operative planning and optical navigation, the robot will slowly distract and perfectly align the fractured segments and hold the fracture stable during fixation. The results will include shorter operative time, reduced radiation exposure, fewer operating room personnel required, reduced reoperations, and improved clinical outcomes.
