“Precision in surgery is the bridge between a painful present and an active, limitless future.”
Surgical Excellence
Dr. Gualtieri’s philosophy of surgical care is defined by three unwavering principles: absolute precision, patient safety, and individualized surgical planning. By incorporating advanced robotic-assisted technology into every procedure, we provide a path that is as unique as your own anatomy. Our goal is not just a successful operation, but a comprehensive, safe roadmap back to the active lifestyle you deserve.
Robotic Primary Knee Replacement
Dr. Gualtieri utilizes advanced robotic-assisted technology like the CORI and MAKO to perform primary knee replacements with unparalleled precision. This sophisticated system allows for a highly personalized surgical plan based on your unique anatomy, ensuring the best possible fit and function of the implanted joint.
- Enhanced surgical accuracy and precision
- Less soft tissue dissection helps speed your return to activity
- Optimized implant alignment for long-term durability
- Reduced post-operative pain and tissue trauma
- Nickel-free implants used to prevent metal allergy
Ideal candidates: Patients suffering from debilitating knee arthritis who have not found adequate relief from non-operative treatments and are looking to regain their mobility and quality of life
Navigated Primary Hip Replacement via Direct Anterior Approach
Dr. Gualtieri specializes in navigated hip replacement using the direct anterior approach, a muscle-sparing technique that minimizes trauma while still utilizing the latest CT-guided technology. Unlike traditional methods, this approach uses a small incision at the front of the hip and allows the surgeon to work between the muscles rather than cutting through them. By creating a 3D virtual model of your unique anatomy, we can execute a surgical plan with unparalleled accuracy for a more natural-feeling joint.
- More precise implant positioning and leg length restoration with the latest technology
- Significantly less muscle disruption compared to traditional approaches
- Less post-operative pain and faster recovery
- Quicker mobilization and an earlier return to walking without an ambulatory aid
Ideal candidates: Patients with degenerative hips who have not found relief through non-operative treatments and are looking to regain their mobility and eliminate their pain
Expertise in Joint Revision
Revision surgery serves to address failed, painful, or unstable prior joint replacements. Dr. Gualtieri brings extensive expertise to these complex cases, focusing on precise diagnostics and advanced surgical reconstruction to help patients regain their mobility and quality of life.
Robotic assisted
Performing revision surgery with the assistance of the latest technology helps to improve precision, accuracy, and outcomes.
Minimally invasive
A revision surgery does not have to be any less traumatizing than the primary surgery. Preserving your anatomy enhances your recovery.
Thorough investigation
From DNA sequencing to metal allergy testing to enhanced CT scan protocols, our practice will find the cause of your painful joint and strive to fix it.
Infection
A serious complication requires not only precise surgical care of the affected joint but also holistic care of the entire patient.
