Whether you need treatment for impingement, labral tears, SLAP tears, dislocation or frozen shoulder, Dr Iagulli will be able to help you on your path to recovery.
Minimally Invasive Surgery
As a board-certified orthopedic surgeon, Dr Nicholas Iagulli focuses on sports medicine. His expertise lies in performing outpatient minimally invasive surgeries (MIS) for knee, shoulder and ankle injuries, with a focus on arthroscopic surgery. Dr Iagulli employs robotic-arm assisted surgery techniques for cases necessitating partial or total joint replacement (TJR) like total knee replacement, total hip replacement or total shoulder replacement. This advanced technique enhances surgical precision, improves patient outcomes and enables complex procedures with exceptional control and dexterity. The key advantages of minimally invasive surgery include accelerated recovery times, minimal scarring and reduced post-operative pain. MIS allows patients to get back to doing what they love sooner.

Robotic Surgery
Dr Iagulli uses a sophisticated robotic arm tool during joint replacement surgery. The arm enhances precision and predictability during procedures like total or partial knee and hip replacements. Some of the other advantages of choosing robotic arm assisted joint replacement include:
- 3D CT-Based Planning: The system creates a personalized 3D model of your joint, allowing Dr Iagulli to meticulously plan the procedure beforehand.
- AccuStop Haptic Technology: This feature provides tactile feedback, preventing the robotic arm from straying beyond the planned surgical boundaries.
- Robotic Arm Assistance: Dr Iagulli controls the robotic arm, which precisely removes diseased bone and cartilage and positions the implant.
- Insightful Data Analytics: The system collects and analyzes data to improve surgical outcomes and patient care.
Essentially, the robotic arm acts as a highly-skilled assistant, helping to achieve more accurate and consistent results. While Dr Iagulli remains in complete control, the robotic arm’s precision can lead to less pain, faster recovery and improved implant longevity.
