Bone Doc Talks

Your body's pain system works like a home electrical system — where you feel pain isn't always where it starts. Understanding this changes how we find and fix the problem.

Think of your hip like a car tire. Cartilage is the tread — arthritis is what happens when it wears bald. Treatment is like an elevator: find the floor that gives you the quality of life you want.

Posterior, lateral, or anterior — three different roads to the same great outcome. Learn why Dr. Kee uses the direct anterior approach and what makes it different.

How does the surgeon actually get to your knee? Think of it like a window covered by curtains — different approaches open the curtains differently. Same window. Same replacement. Different paths.

The shoulder is like a golf ball balanced on a tee — built for motion but inherently unstable. The rotator cuff is what keeps it centered. When it fails, arthritis follows.

Treatment for shoulder arthritis is like climbing a rock wall — each level has more risk. From rest and rehab at the base to reverse shoulder replacement at the summit.

The robot never replaces the surgeon — it helps the surgeon be more precise and consistent. Learn what robotic navigation actually does, what the research shows, and why accuracy matters.
