Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Frank Armocida is helping bring next-level joint-replacement care to the Upstate, becoming the first in South Carolina to perform a total knee arthroplasty using Stryker’s advanced Mako Robotic Power System at Pelham Medical Center.
A board-certified, fellowship-trained specialist, Dr. Armocida combines years of clinical expertise with cutting-edge technology designed to enhance surgical precision and personalize each procedure.
The robotic-assisted platform responds to the surgeon’s movements in real time, helping to improve accuracy, minimize incision size, and support faster recovery for patients.
“It’s an honor to bring this level of innovation to our community,” Dr. Armocida said.
For Dr. Armocida, the milestone reflects a continued commitment to innovation and patient-centered care. His leadership in advancing orthopedic techniques—and his role in helping Pelham Medical Center receive its Orthopedic Center of Excellence designation—ensures patients across the region have access to world-class treatment.
