Dr. Paul Norio Morton is a well-known Orthopedic Surgeon known for his specialty in robotic-assisted knee and hip replacement surgery, earning him the nickname “The Robot Doc.” He is always ...finding ways of taking his practice to the next level and on today’s show he discusses the use of the BEAR.

Dr. Morton is pioneering the use of a breakthrough technology implant for the treatment of ACL tears, one of the most common knee injuries in the U.S.

“The BEAR® Implant (BEAR = Bridge Enhanced ACL Replacement)is the first innovation in ACL tear treatment in more than 30 years. It’s the first FDA-approved medical technology to enable the healing of a torn ACL. This new approach is a shift from the current standard of care, reconstruction, which replaces the ACL with a graft. Every year, approximately 400,000 ACL injuries occur in the U.S. A torn ACL does not heal without treatment, resulting in ACL reconstruction being one of the most common orthopedic procedures in the country.”

For more information on the BEAR or other advancements and procedures, the Robot-Doc uses, visit doctormorton.com or on social media @drpaulmorton.

Dr. Paul Norio Morton is a well-known Orthopedic Surgeon known for his specialty in robotic-assisted surgery, and he joined John Veneri on Living808 to introduce himself and his work.

“I grew ...
up in Kea‘au, played football at Kea‘au High School – my parents still live there. I went to Ohio for college and became a volunteer firefighter there and that feeling I got from helping people really made me decide to get into medicine. I came home and attended the UH John A Burns School of Medicine, then did my rotations and residency, then decided to come home and practice.”

We wanted to know more about his nickname “The Robot Doc”

“I specialize in hips and knees and can provide a full range of services for my patients, from injections to traditional surgery and the latest technology with robotic-assisted surgery thanks to Zimmer Biomet technology. I like to explain all of the options to my patients so they are part of the decision-making process. But I have to admit that robotics is my passion. I am the first Orthopedic Surgeon in Hawai‘i who is Fellowship-trained in Robotic Joint Replacement. I believe robotic surgery is more precise, less invasive, has fewer complications, and will get my patients back out there feeling pain-free faster. But, although I use the latest technology, I still believe in good, old-fashioned, friendly and personalized care for each of my patients.”

The Robot Doc is available in Kona on Thursdays and Fridays at the Ali‘i Health Center and performs surgeries at Kona Community Hospital, and they are the first neighbor island hospital to have a Zimmer Biomet Robot called Rosa for knee and hip replacement.

“We are very proud of Kona for really embracing the latest technology. In addition, Honolulu Sports & Spine Surgery Center right here in Honolulu at Waterfront Plaza also has the Rosa Robot, as well, and I performed the very first robotic-assisted hip replacement in Hawai‘i there, so Iʻm very encouraged and excited about the growth of robotics surgery here thanks to these places embracing technology. Itʻs all about the best outcomes for my patients.”

And Dr. Morton has exciting news to share with our Living808 Ohana.

“The latest knee and hip replacements that have a chip which can provide data wirelessly to the surgeon to see how they are working for the patient once they go home. Also A new surgical solution proven to be more effective in preventing infection from surgery. And how we use an Apple watch to help with post-op therapy, plus non-surgical approaches to knee pain, like Platelet Rich Plasma and other injections. My goal is always to work with my patients for the best solution for them, so they can return to pain-free, active lives!”
