Cutting Edge Technology

Dr. Kamath routinely uses robotic assistance to improve the precision of bone preparation and component placement.  Robotics is a tool to provide personalized alignment, as well as soft tissue balancing in hip and knee replacement surgery.  Dr. Kamath is a developer of a number of leading robotic applications and associated technologies.

Dr. Kamath utilizes total joint replacement implants with a solid track record of performance.  The type of bearing (for example, the ball head and liner option in total hip replacement surgery) is tailored to the activity and particular needs of the individual patient.

Dr. Kamath performs a host of non-surgical and surgical treatments to repair and restore biologic tissues, or to augment healing in an orthopedic procedure.  In addition, Dr. Kamath is an expert in the biologic management of avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip and knee.

Hip Preservation is a specialized field within hip surgery and involves both open and arthroscopic treatment options for early hip disease, impingement, dysplasia, and other hip conditions.   This may be an alternative solution in carefully selected patients.

Knee Preservation encompasses treatment options, both open and arthroscopic, to address soft tissue and cartilage injury, as well as deformity correction.   This may be an alternative solution in carefully selected patients.

Smart Implants in orthopedic surgery enable secure, active communication between the implanted orthopedic device and the patient's care team, including your orthopedic surgeon.  This provides real-time, objective, and long-term data to better tailor the patient's post-operative recovery, and to enhance routine monitoring of orthopedic devices.

Clinical and functional outcome data that is important to patients is harnessed to further fine-tune treatments for patients undergoing hip and knee sugery.

Dr. Kamath may use technology to aid with bone preparation, as well as increase surgical efficiencies, during joint replacement surgery.

Dr. Kamath careful plans each orthopedic surgery, and uses advanced planning tools to further customize the surgical preparations.
