Robotic-Assisted Surgery: The Future of Orthopedic Care is at HOI

Robotic-assisted orthopedic surgery is revolutionizing how joint replacements and other musculoskeletal procedures are performed. Whether you’re considering a robotic knee replacement, robotic hip surgery or a revision surgery, robotic technology may offer you greater precision, faster recovery and improved patient outcomes.

As the West Coast’s leader in joint replacement surgery, Hoag Orthopedic Institute’s fellowship-trained and specialized surgeons offer innovative surgical techniques, including the utilization of robotic technology.

With 10 innovative robots in use throughout our hospital and surgery center network, our robotic team offers customized, innovative options for patients.

What is Robotic Orthopedic Surgery?

Robotic-assisted orthopedic surgery combines the expertise of our renowned, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons with advanced robotic systems. Surgery is planned and performed with assistance from a robotic system that aids our surgeons in planning and performing procedures with extreme accuracy. These systems do not replace the surgeon, but rather act as highly sophisticated tools to enhance a surgeon’s capabilities. Robotic surgery is especially effective for procedures like:

• Total knee replacement
• Partial knee replacement
• Hip replacement
• Joint resurfacing
• Revision joint surgery

Benefits of Robotic Surgery

Unmatched surgical precision
At HOI, our robotic systems offer detailed 3D mapping of your joint, allowing our surgeons to make incredibly accurate cuts and placements. This precision helps ensure better joint alignment, which can enhance mobility and reduce wear on implants over time.

Personalized Surgical Plans
HOI surgeons use advanced imaging (like CT scans or MRIs) to tailor the surgical plan to your body, improving the fit and function of the implant.

Minimally Invasive Techniques
Many robotic procedures use smaller incisions, which results in:

• Less tissue damage
• Reduced blood loss
• Fewer complications

Faster Recovery Times
Patients undergoing robotic-assisted joint replacement often return to normal activities sooner. Benefits include:

• Shorter hospital stays
• Less postoperative pain
• Quicker rehabilitation

Lower Risk of Surgical Errors
Because the robotic system enhances accuracy and consistency, it may reduce the likelihood of errors related to joint alignment or implant placement.

Long Term Results
Studies show robotic orthopedic surgery may improve implant longevity and patient satisfaction, especially for active adults.

Am I A Good Candidate for Robotic Orthopedic Surgery?

You may be a good candidate if you:

• Suffer from chronic joint pain or arthritis
• Need a total or partial joint replacement
• Want a faster recovery process
• Have had complications from a previous joint surgery

Is Robotic Surgery Covered by my Insurance?

Most insurance plans, including Medicare, will cover robotic joint replacement surgery when it is deemed medically necessary.
