ADVANCED COMPUTER-ASSISTED SURGERY FOR BETTER OUTCOMES
Computer-Assisted Surgery
Precision matters in joint replacement, and computer-assisted surgery gives surgeons the tools they need to be more precise than ever. By providing real-time feedback, these systems help surgeons place implants tailored to your unique anatomy with greater accuracy. Using advanced 3D imaging and real-time data, computer-assisted surgery promotes faster recovery, less blood loss, and improved results.
Dr. Kyle Stoops, a fellowship-trained orthopedic specialist serving, uses computer-assisted surgery and other minimally-invasive procedures to help patients achieve the best possible outcomes. His personalized approach prioritizes educating patients and crafting treatment plans tailored to individual needs, helping them regain an active, pain-free lifestyle.

COMPUTER-ASSISTED TOTAL JOINT REPLACEMENT
The Power of Computer-Assisted Joint Replacement
Traditional surgeries largely depend on the surgeon’s training and eyesight, but with computer assistance, surgeons can be even more exact. Computer-assisted surgery allows surgeons to receive real-time, detailed feedback about their patient’s anatomy during a procedure. This allows them to make highly accurate decisions regarding implant placement and alignment, which are critical factors for the long-term success and functionality of joint replacements.
There are many advantages for patients who have computer-assisted surgery:
- Better Alignment: Allows for customization and increased consideration of the patient's specific anatomy to improve soft tissue balance and joint stability.
- Quicker Recovery: The surgery is more precise, so surrounding tissues are less affected, with less blood loss, helping patients heal faster.
- Lower Risk of Problems: When implants are well-aligned, there’s less chance of issues like joint instability and early loosening.
- Longer-Lasting Implants: Proper alignment means implants wear down less, so they last longer.
Overall, patients can expect less pain, better movement, and a faster recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is computer-assisted surgery, and how does it work?
Computer-assisted surgery is a technique that uses computer technology to provide real-time data and 3D imaging during surgical procedures. This technology helps Dr. Stoops place implants with greater accuracy, reducing the risk of misalignment and improving long-term results. It is especially beneficial in complex cases where precision is critical.
How does computer-assisted surgery affect recovery time?
By reducing soft tissue trauma, computer-assisted surgery can contribute to quicker recovery and less postoperative discomfort. When paired with Dr. Stoops' surgical technique and outpatient protocols, patients are typically able to return home on the day of surgery and resume normal activities sooner.
