Dr. John N. Diana, M.D., F.A.A.O.S.

Certified Robotic Surgeon & Dedicated Anterior Hip Replacement Surgeon

Dr. John Diana is a leading provider of specialized hip and knee replacement in the Bay Area. Dr. Diana has been in clinical practice since 2001. He dedicates his practice exclusively to hip and knee replacement surgery in order to take the time to provide his patients with a more customized approach and use technologically advanced methods to help achieve successful outcomes from these particular surgeries.

For knee replacement surgery, Dr Diana performs/utilizes:

1. Robotically-assisted total knee replacement
2. Robotically-assisted partial knee replacement
3. Kinomatic custom surgical planning
4. Quadriceps-sparing surgical techniques
5. Revision knee replacement

Dr. Diana has been utilizing robotic technology for knee replacement surgery since 2013. Likewise, he has been employing rapid recovery knee replacement concepts for more than a decade. Utilizing greater regional pain control, less-invasive surgical techniques, and current technologies for a more customized surgery, the majority of knee replacements can be safely performed as an outpatient rather than spending multiple days in a hospital setting. Taken together, this allows patients the opportunity to complete their recovery in a shorter time than traditionally expected.

For hip replacement surgery, Dr Diana performs/utilizes:

1. Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) hip replacement
2. Kinomatic custom surgical planning
3. Posterior and lateral approach hip replacement
4. Revision hip replacement

Dr. Diana is an avid proponent of Direct Anterior Approach Hip Replacement. Since 2009, Dr Diana has performed hip replacement almost exclusively through an anterior approach. Dr. Diana has performed more than 2500 of these procedures. The non-profit organization ProPublica has recognized Dr Diana for his high quality and exceedingly low complication rate for hip replacement in the region.
