Knee and Hip Replacement

The surgeons at Baldwin Health offer a minimally invasive option to alleviate knee pain associated with early to mid-stage osteoarthritis. Surgeons use a robotic arm system to perform total and partial knee replacement - a procedure that allows them to resurface the diseased area while sparing the patient’s healthy bone and surrounding tissue. The digital tracking system constantly monitors and updates the patient’s anatomy and allows the surgeon to make real-time adjustments to optimize implant positioning and placement.

Surgeons also use a robotic-assisted surgical system to provide a minimally invasive option for total hip replacement. This advanced technique allows surgeons to prepare the hip socket for a more exact implant alignment, and can reduce complications such as excessive wear on the joint, unequal leg length or dislocation.

This system may offer a number of benefits over traditional knee and hip replacement techniques, including:

• Optimal implant positioning that results in a more natural knee motion.
• Less pain, a shorter hospital stay and a quicker recovery.
• Typically covered by most Medicare-approved and private health insurers.
