Robotic Knee Examination

 

Dr. Branch has developed with his Research and Development Team a fully robotic system that slowly and precisely examines the knee. 

 

This system provides insight not available to any other physician group.  With the use of the only Robotic Knee Testing System in the world, he is able to diagnose the root cause of injury and/or surgically related issues causing patient dissatisfaction.  The ability to make the correct diagnosis is critical to designing a targeted non-operative and operative treatment plan resulting in the return of full knee function.
