Modern Joint Replacement: What NPs Should Know About Robotics, Minimally Invasive Surgery, and Same-Day Discharge

Join us for an educational dinner session titled “Modern Joint Replacement: What NPs Should Know About Robotics, Minimally Invasive Surgery, and Same-Day Discharge.”

Presented by Dr. Robert J. Avino, a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon fellowship-trained in adult hip and knee reconstruction, this session explores how robotic precision and minimally invasive techniques are advancing modern joint replacement. Dr. Avino specializes in robotic-assisted hip and knee surgery, with a focus on the direct anterior approach and same-day discharge pathways that enable patients to mobilize earlier, recover faster, and return to life with less pain. He cares for a diverse patient population that includes physicians, nurses, business leaders, and other active professionals who demand rapid, high-quality outcomes. Nurse practitioners will gain practical insights into surgical candidacy, preoperative optimization, discharge planning, and the vital role they play in outpatient joint care. Dr. Avino practices at Palm Beach Orthopaedic Institute and serves on the governing board of Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center. He will be available to answer all joint replacement-related questions during this interactive session.
