Experience in Orthopedic Surgery
Hip and knee replacement surgery has evolved remarkably in recent years, and Dr. Levine has remained at the forefront of these advances. One of the most significant developments has been the focus on same-day discharge following hip and knee replacement. Through carefully refined protocols and advanced surgical techniques, many patients can now safely return home the same day as their procedure, recovering in the comfort of their own environment. This approach not only improves patient satisfaction but also reduces the risk of hospital-acquired complications.
As a certified MAKOplasty surgeon, Dr. Levine utilizes robotic-assisted technology for total hip arthroplasty, unicondylar knee replacement, and total knee arthroplasty. This advanced robotic system allows Dr. Levine to create a personalized surgical plan based on each patient's unique anatomy, enabling high precision in implant positioning and alignment.
Dr. Levine's expertise in direct anterior total hip arthroplasty represents another advancement in minimally invasive techniques. This approach utilizes a natural interval between muscles, avoiding cutting through major muscle groups. Patients benefit from less postoperative pain, faster recovery, and reduced risk of dislocation compared to traditional approaches.
