Technical approach

As reported

Robotic-assisted surgery

Surgeon-controlled precision

The surgeon maintains full control while the robot assists with implant positioning, improving accuracy and consistency compared to manual techniques.

Image-guided navigation

Real-time surgical guidance

Preoperative CT or X-ray images guide the robot during surgery, showing the surgeon where instruments are in real time relative to the patient's anatomy.

Autonomous modes

AI-assisted to fully autonomous

Monogram's tech progresses from AI-assisted to fully autonomous bone cuts and implant placement, reducing operative time.
