Dr. Safa Kassab in the OR using Pixee Knee+ NexSight augmented reality during knee replacement procedure

Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Safa Kassab has just performed a surgery considered a major milestone in outpatient orthopedic surgery. It is a total knee replacement, which many of us here in the area are all too familiar with.

The procedure is being transformed with a "New Augmented Reality Navigation System." Dr. Kassab tells more about this new device that makes for a more precise and accurate surgery.
