Our board-certified surgeons use advanced robotic technology to plan and perform your knee replacement with a level of precision that traditional methods simply can't match.
Before your procedure, your surgeon uses pre-operative imaging to build a detailed model of your unique knee anatomy. That plan guides every step of surgery, so your implant is positioned precisely for your body, not a generic standard.
The ROSA robotic system assists your surgeon with real-time data and optical tracking throughout the procedure. The robot doesn't operate on its own; your surgeon is in control at every stage, with technology that helps them execute the plan with accuracy.
Robotic-assisted knee replacement is designed to minimize tissue disruption, which can mean smaller incisions, less blood loss, and a smoother recovery compared to traditional techniques.
Surgery is just the beginning. Our on-site physical therapy team works closely with your surgeon to build a rehabilitation plan tailored to your goals, helping you regain strength and mobility as efficiently as possible.
Robotic technology is only as good as the surgeons behind it. At Orthopedic + Fracture Specialists, our fellowship-trained total joint surgeons have the specialized training and experience to make the most of every tool available. Our team performs robotic-assisted knee replacements using the ROSA Robotic Surgical Assistant system, which combines pre-surgical planning with real-time intraoperative data to help deliver more personalized, precise outcomes.
For over 90 years, we've been Portland's most trusted orthopedic team. We combine that legacy with the latest advances in joint replacement surgery -- including robotic-assisted techniques, minimally invasive approaches, and individualized treatment planning. From your first consultation through your final physical therapy appointment, our goal is to help you get back to doing what you love.
At Orthopedic + Fracture Specialists, we want cost to be the last thing on your mind. We work with most major insurance providers, including Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, Medicare, Kaiser, Moda Health, and more.

In traditional knee replacement, implant positioning relies primarily on manual surgical tools and the surgeon's judgment. With robotic-assisted surgery, your surgeon uses pre-operative imaging to create a detailed 3D model of your knee and programs a precise surgical plan before ever making an incision. The ROSA robotic system then provides real-time feedback during surgery to help execute that plan accurately. Your surgeon remains in full control throughout -- the robot is a precision tool, not a replacement for surgical expertise.
Robotic-assisted knee replacement is typically recommended for patients with significant knee arthritis or joint damage that has not responded to conservative treatments like physical therapy, injections, or medication. The best way to find out if it's right for you is to schedule a consultation with one of our knee replacement specialists. We'll evaluate your anatomy, your symptoms, and your goals to determine the right approach for your situation.
Most patients return to light activities within four to six weeks, with full recovery typically taking three to six months. Because robotic-assisted surgery is designed to minimize tissue disruption, some patients experience a smoother early recovery compared to traditional techniques. Our on-site physical therapy team will build a personalized rehabilitation plan to help you regain strength and get back to the activities you love.
Not necessarily. Many knee injuries from pickleball, including sprains, meniscal tears, and ACL injuries, can be treated without surgery. However, if you've been dealing with chronic knee pain, significant arthritis, or an injury that hasn't responded to other treatments, a consultation with our orthopedic team is a great first step. We treat the full spectrum of knee conditions, from acute sports injuries to advanced joint replacement, and we'll help you find the right path forward.
