We will soon begin repaving the main driveway outside the Yawkey, Menino, and Moakley buildings. Weather permitting, driveway closures are scheduled for the following weekends, from Friday at 8 p.m. through Sunday at 8 p.m., on the following dates: Sept. 19-21, Sept. 26-28, Oct. 17-19, and Oct. 24-26. 

Access Changes During Construction:

Pedestrian Access: Patients and visitors will be able to enter Moakley through the entrance on East Concord Street.    

Vehicle Access: Vehicular traffic should use the designated drop-off and pick-up area on East Concord Street or the 710 Albany Street Garage. Signage will indicate where metered parking has been blocked off to create a drop-off/pick-up zone (on E. Concord between Harrison and the Moakley side entrance).

A hip replacement is a procedure performed to fix the damaged parts of a hip with different types of implants. Advanced technology like robotic-assisted devices can help your surgeon perform a precise hip replacement surgery personalized for your specific needs. 

The process of robotic hip replacement surgery is similar to a traditional hip replacement, but before the surgery, you'll get scans that create a 3-D images of your hip. This helps your surgeon plan your surgery. Then surgeon will use a robotic arm that has the information from the images to guide them through the procedure. The robotic arm is there to help the surgeon, not replace them.

One form of robotic total hip replacement is the VELYS™ Robotic Assisted-Solution, which helps improve surgical outcomes by giving your surgeon data during your hip replacement. This helps your surgeon make sure your hip replacement is as precise as possible, so only damaged bone is removed and the joint is better aligned.
