Your comment about shifting point of view is helpful to me to keep in mind as I prepare for upcoming knee surgery.
I have an excellent dr. Although he's skilled with robotic procedure, he won’t be using it in my case.

Thank you Loll.

Yeah robotic assistants are most valuable, imo, for knees. There is no need I know of to use one for the hip, and my surgeon didn't use a robotic assistant when I had my shoulder replaced on Aug 6th - yep, two weeks ago!

Point is, robotic assistants won't be used for all joint replacements by all ortho surgeons. I've had good experiences both ways. I trust my surgeons to do whatever it takes to have a successful surgery, because a good surgeon is still the most important variable.
