Precision Robotics.
Muscle-Sparing Technique.
The only surgeon in the Erie region combining MAKO robotic precision with muscle-sparing approaches for both knees and hips. No muscle cutting. Faster recovery. Patients travel from over two hours away specifically for these procedures.
Technology Meets Technique
Many surgeons have robotic technology. What sets Dr. Lupo apart is how he uses it — combining robotic precision with muscle-sparing approaches that most surgeons don't offer.
🦿 MAKO Muscle-Sparing Total Knee
🏃 MAKO Muscle-Sparing Direct Anterior Hip
Both procedures:
Traditional vs. Muscle-Sparing
Most surgeons cut through muscle. Dr. Lupo works around it.
Traditional Approach
- Cuts through quadriceps muscle
- 2–3 day hospital stay
- Significant post-op pain
- 4–6 weeks to walk unassisted
- Manual implant positioning
Muscle-Sparing + Robotic
- Preserves muscle — no cutting
- 95% home the same day
- Significantly less pain
- Walking within hours
- Robotic sub-millimeter precision
Patient Success Stories
Watch 20+ patients demonstrate their recovery — squatting, walking, bending, climbing stairs — all within days or weeks of surgery.
Doing Squats — Both Knees Replaced
Both knees replaced. At 2.5 weeks: squats, high knee steps, walking without assistance. No pain meds for over a week. No PT needed.
"No pain medication in over a week. I'm doing squats. Night and day compared to what I expected."
Drove 100 Miles — Zero Pain at 2 Weeks
"Night and Day" vs. Traditional Knee
Walking 3.9 Miles Daily at 2 Weeks
100° Flexion on Day 1
Normal Gait at 2 Weeks After Hip
Both Hips & Both Knees — Got Her Life Back
20+ Patient Recovery Videos
Knees bending 123° on day one. Walking without canes at 2 weeks. Hip patients with normal gait in days.
Back on the Roof — Total Hip
Sitting on his shed roof 6 weeks after robotic direct anterior hip replacement. Full range of motion. No restrictions. Back to everything.
"Ask any surgeon to show you 20 patients demonstrating their recovery on video. If they can't — ask why."

"A wonderful office staff, very competent medical staff, and an excellent surgeon. All contributed to the most successful knee replacement I could imagine."
"Dr. Lupo performed my total hip replacement and I had absolutely no problems. He performs Mako-assisted surgery using the anterior approach. I was only off work for 3 weeks."
"Dr. Lupo and his entire team are exceptional. I received wonderful care from our first meeting until now and I'm sure it will continue."
Science-Based Results vs. Trademarked Marketing
A trademarked name is not an advanced surgical technique. It's a marketing term — paid for, not proven.
Trademark Marketing
- Catchy branded names for techniques that have been around for decades
- Paid trademark registrations — not peer-reviewed innovation
- No published clinical data unique to the brand
- Well-known procedures repackaged with a marketing label
- Ad budget replaces scientific evidence
Science-Based Practice
- Techniques validated by peer-reviewed research
- Outcomes measured by published clinical studies
- 3,000+ robotic cases — volume you can verify
- 20+ patient videos proving real-world results
- Evidence drives decisions — not ad spend
Before You Choose a Surgeon, Ask:
- 1.Is this a trademarked name or a scientifically validated technique?
- 2.Can you show me the peer-reviewed studies behind your approach?
- 3.How many of these procedures have you performed with robotic assistance?
- 4.Can I watch your patients demonstrate their recovery on video?
