What did I do in 2025?

A few minutes to reflect: Kids getting older (Gia graduates and goes to college in 2026!) and...I’m getting older (I turn 50 in 2026! :) Booooo…..

We had some interesting trips. All over the US, and some outside skiing in Japan, sightseeing in Dubai and Sweden. I just saw my surgery totals for the year: 723 primary joint replacements. 446 knee replacements, 277 hip replacements, 76 partial knee replacements, and over 750 total surgeries. Is that possible? I have a great team and pride myself on striving for the highest quality outcomes for every patient.

This year we advance our robotic capability and continue to do our best for you. Here’s to a fun and action-packed 2026!

We use robotic technology to assist in surgery as a tool to aid precision and planning—but fully autonomous robots performing surgery on their own aren’t here yet.

So what does that mean for patients considering hip or knee replacement today?
In his latest blog, Dr. Joseph Gondusky breaks down:
• What robotic-assisted surgery actually does
• What it doesn’t do (yet)
• And why experience still matters most in the operating room

ā€œThere will probably be more Optimus robots that are great surgeons than there are all surgeons on Earth.ā€ Elon Musk recently noted this would be the case by 2030. Will a robot be better than me? I currently use robotics as an aid to surgery. I like tech and I use it to the fullest […]

Earlier this week, you saw David up and walking immediately after his second hip replacement. Here’s a closer look at the X-rays behind that recovery.

In this video, Dr. Gondusky walks through David’s hip X-rays and explains the planning and details that went into his operation—helping set the foundation for a smooth recovery and a return to life without limits.

A new year. A new chapter—without hip pain.

01/13/2026

A real patient. A real recovery.

David works in construction management—a physically demanding job that doesn’t allow for long downtime. After his first hip replacement, he was:

• Driving by post-op day 8
• Back to work in about 1.5–2 weeks

Because of how well his first recovery went, he chose to move forward with his second hip replacement shortly after. The clips you’re seeing here are from that second surgery—walking, talking, and already moving comfortably.

Results like this don’t happen by accident. They come from thoughtful planning, modern techniques, and a recovery process built around the patient.

We wanted to share this video again — it’s such an inspiration and a reminder that living in pain isn’t your only option.

At just 26 years old, this patient faced debilitating avascular necrosis, requiring bilateral hip replacements. We staged the surgeries three months apart in early 2018, and now—six years later—he’s thriving!

Watch as he demonstrates impressive hip mobility, performing movements that would make most surgeons uneasy to witness on replaced hips. His journey is a testament to what’s possible with the right care.

At his last visit, he told us, ā€œYou gave me my life backā€ā€”words that mean the world to us. šŸ™Œ
