TMINI® Robot-Assisted Total Knee Replacement at The Orthopedic Institute
The Orthopedic Institute at Forrest Health is proud to introduce the TMINI® Miniature Robotic System, exclusively used with the Persona® The Personalized Knee® System. This advanced technology allows surgeons to perform total knee replacement procedures with exceptional accuracy, creating a fit designed just for you — and helping you get back to the activities you love.
What is the TMINI® System?
The TMINI® System is a small, handheld, wireless robotic device that assists surgeons during total knee replacement surgery. It is designed to work hand-in-hand with your surgeon to ensure your implant is placed with precision, improving your knee’s function and movement after surgery.
Unlike large, bulky robotic arms, TMINI fits comfortably in the surgeon’s hand — keeping the focus on your unique anatomy and your surgeon’s expertise.
How It Works
-
Personalized Planning – A CT scan of your knee is taken to create a detailed 3D model.
-
Customized Procedure – Your surgeon uses this model to plan the exact size, shape, and placement of your implant.
-
Surgical Precision – During surgery, the TMINI® System assists in executing the plan with high accuracy — but your surgeon stays in full control from start to finish.
Why Choose TMINI®?
-
Personalized Fit – Implants are chosen and positioned based on your unique knee shape and size.
-
Improved Accuracy – The robotic system helps ensure optimal alignment and balance.
-
Better Movement – A more precise fit may improve comfort and range of motion after recovery.
-
Surgeon-Controlled – The technology supports your surgeon without replacing their expertise.
What the Experts Say
“This technology allows us to provide the best possible implants with improved precision and efficiency — ultimately enhancing our patients’ quality of life.”
– Dr. Matthew T. Valentine, MD, Hattiesburg Clinic orthopaedic surgeon
Is TMINI® Right for You?
If you suffer from chronic knee pain, stiffness, or reduced mobility due to arthritis or injury, a knee replacement may help you return to a more active lifestyle. The TMINI® System offers a personalized approach to this common procedure — but it isn’t the right fit for everyone. Your orthopedic surgeon can help determine if it’s the best option for your needs.
