Specialization and Expertise

Dr. Narkbunnam restores joint function through high-precision methods. He uses MAKOplasty robotic technology for total and partial joint replacements. This system allows for accurate implant positioning based on the patient's anatomy. Accurate placement helps improve the longevity of the joint implant.

The doctor treats various degenerative conditions and injuries. These include knee osteoarthritis, hip fractures, and valgus deformities. He also provides Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy. This therapy uses a patient's own blood cells to accelerate healing in the joint.
