Robotic Assistant Procedures

Our state-of-the-art surgical technologies allow our physicians to duplicate the durability of a traditional open repair procedure while offering patients a faster recovery, less pain and reduced risk of infection than with a larger open incision.

  • Smaller, less noticeable scars
  • Superior outcomes
  • Increased surgical precision
  • Fewer complications such as surgical site infection
  • Reduced hospital stays
  • Less pain and decreased opioid use
  • Quicker recovery and return to work

Exactech Equinoxe Planning App® and GPS Shoulder® Technology

The Exactech’s Equinoxe Shoulder Replacement System is designed to provide the best possible outcomes for shoulder replacements and reverse total shoulder replacements. 

This technology allows surgeons to personalize a surgical plan with a preoperative CT scan, giving them more accurate implant placement and alignment.
