Robotic-Assisted Hip Replacement
Dr. McLawhorn is among the nation's most experienced robotic-assisted hip replacement surgeons, performing more than 400 robotic-assisted procedures annually. Robotic technology allows for a level of planning, measurement, and precision that exceeds what is possible with conventional surgical techniques alone, helping optimize implant placement, leg length, hip stability, and overall biomechanics.
The robotic system is a precision tool that helps him execute the surgical plan with extraordinary accuracy.
Robotic-assisted surgery does not mean a robot performs your hip replacement. Dr. McLawhorn is in complete control throughout the entire procedure. Prior to surgery, a CT scan creates a personalized 3D model of your hip, allowing him to develop a detailed surgical plan tailored to your anatomy. During the operation, the robotic system provides real-time guidance and precision measurements that help ensure the implants are placed exactly as intended. This technology helps optimize implant positioning, restore leg length and hip mechanics, and improve the precision of the procedure.

Who is a candidate?
Robotic-assisted hip replacement is available for both anterior and posterior approach surgeries. Most patients who are candidates for total hip replacement are also candidates for robotic assistance.
Dr. McLawhorn performs more robotic-assisted anterior approach hip replacements annually than nearly any other surgeon in the country — combining the two most effective advances in modern hip surgery.
