Oct 7, 2025
Whether it’s pickleball, hiking local trails, or a daily walk, staying active is one of the most effective ways to protect your health and improve quality of life. However, joint pain from arthritis or injury can make even simple movements difficult.
Recognized as a leader in joint replacement, our Orthopedic Institute combines world-class expertise with advanced technology, using robotic-assisted surgery to develop personalized treatment plans, protect healthy tissue, and achieve precise alignment. This leads to better outcomes, faster recovery, and longer-lasting results.
“Robotic-assisted surgery gives us an extraordinary level of accuracy,” says Dr. Michael Abdulian, board-certified orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine expert at Adventist Health Glendale. “That precision allows us to restore mobility and help patients return to the activities they love with greater confidence.”
MAKOplasty®: Robotic-Assisted Joint Replacement
For patients requiring knee or hip replacement, MAKOplasty® robotic-assisted surgery offers an approach that can be tailored to each patient’s anatomy. Before surgery, a CT scan creates a detailed 3D model of the joint, allowing the surgical team to plan the procedure with exact precision.
During surgery, the robotic arm is used to remove only the damaged tissue while preserving as much healthy bone and surrounding structures as possible. This advanced technology allows for more accurate implant placement, which can lead to:
- Less pain and quicker recovery
- Shorter hospital stays
- Greater implant longevity
- Improved mobility and function
“MAKOplasty® allows us the precision to tailor every joint replacement to the patient’s anatomy,” Dr. Abdulian explains. “The result is a joint that feels more natural, helping patients get back to a more active lifestyle sooner and for longer.”
It’s never too early to seek expert advice about joint pain. Our Orthopedic Institute stands ready to address your concerns with a variety of treatment options. By taking action today, you can prevent further damage, protect your mobility, and continue doing the activities you love.
