Surgery & Technology
Where your surgery happens
Consults, imaging, and follow-up happen at our Ala Moana clinic. For Honolulu patients, robotic joint replacement is performed at leading Oahu hospitals — The Queen's Medical Center with ROSA® robotic assistance for total knee replacement, and Adventist Health Castle with the CORI® robotic system for hip and knee.
Where appropriate, Dr. Morton uses an anterior (bikini) muscle-sparing approach for the hip and a subvastus approach for the knee. The robot assists; Dr. Morton controls every step. Not everyone is a candidate.
