What to Look for in a Joint Replacement Surgeon
If you have arthritis and are considering hip or knee replacement, choosing the right surgeon is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Here’s what many patients consider when evaluating their options.
Surgical Experience & Volume
Research suggests that surgeons who perform a high volume of joint replacements often achieve more consistent outcomes. When robotic technology is involved, the number of procedures a surgeon has completed with that system can be an important factor.
Board Certification & Fellowship Training
Board certification confirms a surgeon has met rigorous standards in orthopedic surgery. Fellowship training in joint reconstruction means additional, focused preparation beyond residency — often at leading academic medical centers.
Robotic Technology & Approach
Not all joint replacement surgery is the same. Robotic-assisted technology allows for personalized surgical planning and precision-guided execution — but the surgeon’s experience with that technology matters as much as the technology itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right surgeon for joint replacement?
Many patients evaluate a surgeon’s training, board certification, fellowship background, and experience with robotic technology. Surgical volume — particularly the number of robotic-assisted procedures performed — is often an important consideration.
What is robotic-assisted joint replacement?
Robotic-assisted joint replacement uses Mako technology to create a personalized surgical plan based on a 3D model of your joint and assists with precision during the procedure. Dr. Avino has performed over 1,000 robotic-assisted hip and knee replacements using this approach.
Am I a candidate for same-day surgery?
Some patients may qualify for same-day joint replacement depending on overall health, support at home, and the surgical plan. Candidacy is determined during the consultation.
How long does recovery take?
Recovery varies by patient and procedure. Many patients begin walking the same day and return to daily activities within a few weeks. More demanding activities like golf or tennis may take longer, depending on the individual.
