Q: when having hip surgery is it better to find a doctor who does mako robotics or better that he uses his own hands to perform the surgery?

: Hip surgery is fairly common and performed by many experienced doctors. Unless it is a very difficult and hard area to access than a robotic procedure may be indicated.
