Yes. Dr. Willson performs robotic-assisted hip and knee replacement procedures to help improve surgical precision and personalized implant positioning.

Is robotic joint replacement better than traditional joint replacement?

Robotic-assisted surgery can provide greater accuracy and surgical planning, but the best approach depends on each patient's condition, anatomy, and treatment goals.

Many patients may qualify for outpatient joint replacement, allowing them to return home the same day, depending on their overall health and recovery plan.

Partial knee replacement treats only the damaged portion of the knee, while total knee replacement resurfaces the entire joint when arthritis affects multiple areas.

Orthobiologics FAQs

What are orthobiologics?

Orthobiologics are biologic substances derived from cells, blood components, tissues, or growth factors that are used to support healing and tissue regeneration in orthopedic conditions.

What conditions can orthobiologics help treat?

Orthobiologics may be used to treat cartilage injuries, early osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, ligament injuries, and certain musculoskeletal conditions affecting joints and soft tissues.

How do orthobiologics work?

These treatments help stimulate the body's natural healing response by delivering concentrated biologic components that may support tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and enhance recovery.

What is Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)?

PRP is created from a sample of your own blood that is processed to concentrate platelets and growth factors. The concentrated solution is then injected into the injured area to support healing.

Am I a candidate for orthobiologic treatment?

Patients with early joint degeneration, tendon injuries, ligament injuries, cartilage damage, or persistent symptoms that have not responded to conservative treatment may be candidates. A thorough evaluation is necessary to determine suitability.

Are orthobiologic treatments a replacement for surgery?

Not always. While orthobiologics may help some patients avoid or delay surgery, others may benefit from using these therapies alongside surgical treatment. Recommendations vary based on the severity of the condition.

How long does it take to see results?

Response times vary depending on the condition being treated and the specific orthobiologic therapy used. Some patients notice improvement within weeks, while others experience gradual improvement over several months.

Are orthobiologic treatments safe?

Because many orthobiologic therapies use substances derived from your own body, they are generally well tolerated. However, all medical procedures carry some degree of risk. Dr. Willson will discuss the benefits and risks during your consultation.
