Robotic-Assisted Surgery: Innovation Starts Here

Procedures Performed Using Robotic-Assisted Surgery

Robot-assisted surgery enhances precision and consistency across a range of complex procedures, including advanced options for knee treatment, hip care, spine surgery and complex revisions.

• Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery (Total & Partial): Robot-assisted knee replacement creates a 3D map of your joint for precise implant placement, improved alignment and a more natural-feeling result.
• Robotic Hip Replacement: Robotic systems enhance implant sizing and positioning, helping preserve healthy tissue and reduce the risk of complications.
• Robotic Spine Surgery: Robotic-assisted surgery enables precise hardware placement in specific spine procedures, minimizing trauma to muscles and nerves. All of our spine surgeons offer minimally invasive surgical techniques and have access to robotic surgical options, image-guided technology and more.
• Robotic Shoulder Replacement Surgery: Hoag Orthopedic Institute is a destination for robotic-assisted shoulder replacement. In fact, the first ROSA® Robotic Shoulder Replacement System procedure in California was performed at HOI. Robotic-assisted shoulder replacement offers increased precision using real-time data for superior outcomes. We are proud to be an early adopter of the technology, offering the latest surgical innovations to our patients.
• Revision Joint Surgery: Robotic guidance helps navigate scar tissue and bone loss, making complex revision surgery safer and more predictable.

At Hoag Orthopedic Institute, our surgeons use advanced robotic-assisted surgery to deliver high-quality results with less disruption to surrounding tissue.

Benefits of Robotic Surgery

Robot-assisted surgery supports safe, effective procedures that can improve recovery and long-term outcomes. Here are some of the key benefits patients' experience:

Less Pain and Trauma

Robotic-assisted surgery enables the surgeon to complete complex procedures using minimally invasive techniques with smaller incisions, which results in:

• Less tissue damage
• Reduced blood loss
• Fewer complications
• Less pain

Faster Recovery Times

With robotic-assisted surgery, patients often return to normal activities sooner — with shorter hospital stays, less postoperative pain and quicker rehabilitation.

Unmatched surgical precision

Robotic-assisted orthopedic surgery offers detailed 3D mapping of your joint, allowing our surgeons to make incredibly accurate cuts and placements. This precision helps ensure better joint alignment, reduces the risk of surgical errors and can enhance mobility while reducing wear on implants over time.

Better Long-Term Results

Studies show robotic assisted 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 surgery when it is deemed medically necessary.
