Why Consider Robotic Surgery?

Every patient is unique and can experience joint pain from arthritis for different reasons. Pain from osteoarthritis and joint degeneration can be constant or come and go each day. Different movements can also affect pain differently.

It is common for patients to try medication and other conservative treatments to treat hip or knee pain. If you haven’t experienced adequate relief with those treatment options, you may be a candidate for robotic joint replacement surgery, which may provide you with relief from your joint pain.
How Robotic Surgery Works

Each patient will take a preoperative CT scan at AVALA Imaging Center. This CT scan will allow the physician to make a personalized surgical plan for each patient based on their anatomy. The preoperative CT scan allows the physician to visualize a patient’s anatomy in real-time during the robotic surgery.

During surgery, the robotic arm guides the physician based on the patient’s personalized surgical plan, to accurately place implants.

A shorter recovery

AVALA Ortho physicians will always prioritize a conservative treatment plan before discussing surgery. In the case that surgery may be offered, we are committed to offering the LEAST invasive procedures with a limited amount of time in the hospital.

The length of your hospital stay would be determined by the kind of procedure your doctor performs. An average patient may leave the hospital one or two days following their procedure.
