Andrew Chambers, M.D. Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Andrew Chambers is an orthopedic surgeon with the Dallas Orthopedic Joint Institute and specializes in minimally invasive hip and knee replacement surgery. He received extensive training at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital performing minimally invasive hip and knee replacement including the direct anterior hip replacement, partial knee replacement, revision surgery for malfunctioning, loose, and infected hip and knee replacements, arthroscopic surgery of the hip and knee, and revision of failed metal-on-metal total hip replacement implants. Dr. Chambers focuses special attention on surgical techniques for rapid recovery after total joint replacement which allow his patients a more predictable and earlier return to home and an active lifestyle. Dr. Chambers is pleased to offer the MAKOplasty Robotic-Arm Assisted partial/total knee replacement and total hip replacement. The MAKOplasty procedure is changing the way joint replacement surgeries are performed by providing each patient with a personalized surgical experience based on their specific diagnosis and unique anatomy using a CT-based 3D modeling. The robotic arm technology allows for extremely precise placement of hip/knee components with less soft tissue injury. The MAKOplasty procedure is so effective that patients are often walking hours after surgery with little to no pain.
