On Friday, we had the honor of hosting Dr. Filippo Romanelli at our East Patchogue facility. Dr. Romanelli is a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon with expertise in joint reconstruction at Orlin & Cohen. He delivered an insightful presentation to our therapists on the topic of robotic-assisted knee replacement.

Robotic-assisted knee replacement is a surgeon-controlled, technology-assisted procedure that uses a robotic arm and 3D imaging (CT/MRI) to enhance the accuracy of implant placement, bone cuts, and soft-tissue preservation. This innovative approach aims to improve implant longevity and facilitate a quicker recovery compared to traditional methods.

We are grateful for Dr. Romanelli's time spent with our therapists. Opportunities like these not only allow our therapists to deepen their knowledge, but also cultivate relationships that empower us to provide the highest quality care to our patients.
