Robotic Knee Replacement
Robotic knee replacement uses advanced technology for precise implant placement, minimizing tissue damage and accelerating recovery. Ideal for severe arthritis or joint damage, this procedure reduces postoperative pain and allows same-day discharge. Patients benefit from customized surgical planning and improved long-term outcomes.
Robotic Hip Replacement
Robotic hip replacement offers enhanced accuracy in implant positioning, preserving surrounding muscles and ligaments. This minimally invasive approach reduces recovery time and dislocation risks. Suitable for arthritis, fractures, or joint degeneration, it enables rapid return to daily activities with fewer complications.
Sports Medicine
Sports medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating athletic injuries, including ligament tears, fractures, and cartilage damage. Treatment combines conservative therapies and surgical interventions to restore function. Tailored rehabilitation plans ensure athletes regain strength and mobility safely and efficiently.
Regenerative Medicine
Regenerative medicine harnesses the bodys natural healing to repair damaged tissues using stem cells, PRP, or MLS laser therapy. Effective for arthritis, tendonitis, or joint pain, it delays or avoids surgery. This non-invasive approach promotes tissue regeneration and long-term pain relief.
ACL Surgery
ACL surgery reconstructs torn anterior cruciate ligaments using grafts to stabilize the knee. Targeted for athletes or active individuals, it restores joint stability and prevents further damage. Postoperative physical therapy ensures full recovery and return to high-demand activities.

Questions
What is robotic-assisted joint replacement?
Robotic-assisted surgery uses advanced technology for precise implant placement, reducing tissue damage and improving recovery times through real-time data and customized surgical plans.
How long is recovery after robotic knee replacement?
Most patients walk unaided the same day and resume light activities within weeks, with full recovery typically taking 3-6 months depending on rehabilitation adherence.
Am I a candidate for joint replacement?
If non-surgical treatments fail to relieve arthritis pain or mobility issues, you may be a candidate. Dr. Morton evaluates imaging, symptoms, and lifestyle to determine eligibility.
Does insurance cover robotic joint surgery?
Most major insurance plans cover robotic-assisted procedures. The office staff assists in verifying coverage and explaining financial responsibilities before treatment.
Can out-of-state patients receive care?
Yes, the practice coordinates care for interisland, international, and out-of-state patients, including pre-operative consultations, surgery scheduling, and postoperative recovery arrangements.
