In the fast-evolving world of orthopedics, Dr. Joel Buchalter and Dr. Daniel Buchalter are pushing the boundaries of joint replacement surgery. This father-son team recently led a hands-on cadaver lab, exploring the latest in robotic-assisted surgery using MAKO 2.0 and Velys Robotic Systems. Their mission? Aim that every joint replacement performed at Somers Orthopaedic Surgery & Sports Medicine Group and The Orthopaedic & Specialty Surgery Center results in faster recoveries and better outcomes for patients.
By rigorously testing and refining their methods, the Buchalters provide more than just surgery—they aim to deliver less pain, faster recovery times, and longer-lasting results.
Robotic-assisted surgery is revolutionizing the way orthopedic surgeons perform joint replacements. Systems like MAKO 2.0 and Velys allow surgeons to develop personalized surgical plans tailored to each patient’s anatomy. During the operation, robotic systems provide real-time feedback, enabling precise movements and optimized outcomes.
For example, patients undergoing robotic-assisted knee replacements report better joint stability, reduced discomfort, and shorter rehabilitation periods. During their cadaver lab, the Buchalters fine-tuned these techniques, ensuring unmatched precision in every surgery they perform.
As co-founder of Somers Orthopaedic Surgery & Sports Medicine Group, Dr. Joel Buchalter has been at the forefront of joint replacement surgery since 1988. He serves as the Chief of Joint Replacement Surgery at Northern Westchester Hospital and Medical Director at the Orthopaedic & Specialty Surgery Center in Danbury, Connecticut. The Orthopaedic & Specialty Surgery Center is a premier multi-specialty surgical facility, known for delivering exceptional care for a wide range of conditions. Imagine having your hip, knee, or shoulder replaced and recovering in the comfort of your home that same afternoon. With state-of-the-art technology and a patient-centered approach, the center ensures a smooth, efficient, and safe experience for all patients.
With over three decades of experience, Dr. Buchalter specializes in robotic-assisted surgeries that result in highly accurate implant positioning and reduced recovery times. By integrating advanced systems like MAKO 2.0 and Velys into his practice.
