What happens when medicine, technology, and leadership come together? In this episode of Elevate the Game, host Eric Bodiwala sits down with orthopedic surgeon and healthcare leader Antonia Chen to explore how innovation is transforming orthopedic surgery and patient care.
Antonia shares her journey from growing up on the East Coast to becoming Chair of Orthopedics at UT Southwestern. She explains how knee and hip replacement surgeries have evolved over the past decade and why robotics, navigation systems, and precision tools are reshaping outcomes for patients and surgeons alike.
The conversation dives into how robotic-assisted orthopedic surgery improves accuracy and personalization, while also reducing physical strain on surgeons. Antonia breaks down the difference between precision and accuracy, and why technology is a powerful tool when paired with clinical judgment and experience.
Listeners also get a behind-the-scenes look at UT Southwestern’s major initiatives, including building world-class clinical programs, advancing orthopedic education, and leading research in infection prevention, trauma care, and minimally invasive techniques. Antonia discusses partnerships with professional sports teams and how caring for elite athletes pushes innovation forward for all patients.
