THINK Surgical’s achievement of 1,000 total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures using the TMINI® Miniature Robotic System underscores the growing importance of robotic assistance in orthopedic surgery. As knee replacements become increasingly common, especially in outpatient and ambulatory surgery centers where space is limited, the need for compact, efficient, and precise surgical tools is paramount. The TMINI system addresses these demands by providing surgeons with a highly portable robotic platform that enhances surgical accuracy without requiring large, cumbersome equipment.
The innovation behind the TMINI system lies in its miniature, handheld design coupled with compatibility for various implant options, including the Persona® Knee from Zimmer Biomet. This flexibility allows surgeons to personalize treatment while leveraging advanced robotic precision to optimize bone preparation and implant placement. The system’s rapid adoption—reaching 1,000 procedures shortly after the 500th milestone—reflects its user-friendly design and clinical efficacy, which support better surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction.
In practice, the TMINI system is transforming knee replacement surgeries by enabling surgeons to perform complex procedures more efficiently in space-constrained environments like ambulatory surgery centers. Its integration with leading implant manufacturers further enhances its appeal and accessibility across the country. As THINK Surgical continues to expand partnerships and clinical use, the TMINI robotic system is poised to become a standard tool in orthopedic surgery, driving improved patient care and advancing the future of minimally invasive joint replacement.
