Dr. Tyler Morris Offers Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery at Tennova Healthcare - Clarksville
5/2/2024
CLARKSVILLE, TN (May 2, 2024) – Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Tyler Morris* now offers robotic assisted knee replacement at Tennova Healthcare - Clarksville. Compared to traditional joint replacement surgery, robotic surgery involves the use of advanced technology and can often navigate and operate with improved accuracy under his guidance. “During surgery, intra-operative sensors and robotic software can ensure increased precision and soft tissue balancing, allowing for more precise implants” states Dr. Morris. "The vast majority of patients go home on the same day. With robotic advancements, patients are often fully weight bearing and can obtain fast independence, with the help of physical therapists and assistive devices, such as a walker or cane.”
During knee replacement surgery, Dr. Morris performs the procedure using robotic guidance and 3D imaging to map the patient's anatomy. By using the robotic cutting instruments with specialized navigation, he can ensure the artificial knee parts are placed as accurately as possible and fit each patient’s unique anatomy. Dr. Morris adds “If a patient is a good candidate for a traditional knee replacement surgery, they are most likely well-suited for a robotic knee replacement. Some people may find robotic-assisted surgery especially beneficial, such as patients with prior surgery or abnormal anatomy. It can be especially useful in the setting of revision surgery to preserve bone and obtain optimal results in complex knee problems."
Dr. Morris is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon that specializes in musculoskeletal trauma and joint replacement. He obtained his trauma fellowship training at Vanderbilt University, and performs well over 1000 musculoskeletal surgical cases a year, all at Tennova Healthcare - Clarksville. Dr. Morris is a partner at The Bone and Joint Group in Clarksville.
