Knee Surgery
Dr de Hoog performs total knee replacement using the ROSA robotic system - precise, reproducible implant positioning based on each patient's individual anatomy, under an ERAS protocol for faster recovery.
ROSA Robotic System Persona Implant ERAS Protocol
Knee procedures
Dr de Hoog manages knee arthritis and joint disease with a focus on precision surgical technique and evidence-based recovery.
The approach
Precision and reproducibility are central to Dr de Hoog's knee practice.
ROSA Robotic System
The ROSA Knee system (Zimmer Biomet) provides real-time intraoperative data and robotic guidance during the procedure. This enables precise, reproducible implant positioning - reducing variability and supporting a more natural feel to the knee after surgery.
Persona Implant System
The Persona system offers a range of insert thicknesses that can be assessed and selected intraoperatively, optimising knee balance and kinematics for each patient. Cementless fixation is used where bone quality allows, providing biological long-term fixation.
ERAS Protocol
Patients undergoing knee replacement with Dr de Hoog walk on the day of surgery. Multimodal analgesia - including spinal anaesthetic, nerve blocks, and local infiltration - reduces opioid requirements and accelerates the return to independence.
