Robotic-Assisted Hip Replacement
Innovative robotic technologies do not replace surgical expertise but do help us give you the most precise outcomes. Using the latest technology, our hip surgeons get a better view of your joint, bones, muscles, and nerves—allowing us to maneuver instruments with more accuracy than ever before.
Robotic-assisted hip replacement using the innovative MAKOplasty® or ROSA® systems require smaller incisions than traditional arthroplasty. Using 3D bone modeling and virtual implant templates based on your own imaging, we can size, align, and position your new hip joint to seamlessly match your anatomy.
With precise, personalized planning, our expert surgeons can avoid disturbing healthy tissues around the joint as we correct the cause of your symptoms. The results?
- Shorter hospital stay—or no stay required
- Faster recovery
- Lower risk of complications
MedStar Orthopaedic Institute is one of the largest musculoskeletal robotic surgical programs on the east coast, with 10 robots for hip, knee, and spine surgery. Our experienced surgeons have performed more than 1,500 robotic-assisted joint replacements to date.
