Why some surgeries belong at Queen's
The Queen's Medical Center is Hawai‘i's largest hospital and the Pacific's referral center — and for certain patients, that depth matters. Revision surgery with significant bone loss, joints complicated by prior infection, patients with cardiac or medical conditions that warrant hospital-level monitoring, and complex fracture reconstructions are all better served with a full hospital — ICU, specialists, blood bank — down the corridor rather than across town. Robotic-assisted knee replacement is available in this setting too: complexity doesn't mean giving up precision. For knees here, Dr. Morton primarily uses the ROSA® system, which plans from standard X-rays, so no CT scan is needed for the robotic plan; complex revisions are often planned with the help of a CT scan.
Clinic visits nearby at Ala Moana
Consultations, pre-operative planning, and follow-ups happen at Dr. Morton's Ala Moana clinic, minutes from the Queen's campus. Queen's Health Plan members and patients referred by Queen's physicians are welcome — so are second opinions on complex cases referred by other orthopedists.
Choosing your surgical venue
Venue follows the patient, not habit: straightforward replacements in good health are often planned for same-day recovery, while complexity, medical risk, or insurance considerations point to Queen's. You'll always know why yours is recommended where it is.
What patients say
“He didn’t push surgery seeing that I wasn’t ready yet so I’m going to explore some of his other modalities before I decide on knee replacement.”
