Robotic Shoulder replacement: Another First in North and Central Florida
Posted on July 22nd, 2026 by Our Team
Mayo Clinic in Florida, led by Dr. Erick Marigi, is the first
institution in North and Central Florida to perform a robotic shoulder replacement utilizing both glenoid and humeral instrumentation.
The shoulder is one of the most complex joints in the body, and achieving ideal outcomes depends on precise execution at the time of surgery. Robotic technology allows surgeons to create a highly detailed surgical plan before entering the operating room, and then execute that plan with sub-millimeter accuracy. This advanced approach accounts for each patient’s unique anatomy, resulting in a truly personalized shoulder replacement designed to optimize function, stability, and longevity.
Mayo Clinic has a long-standing commitment to innovation, including performing the world’s first robotic total shoulder replacement in April 2024. Building on this legacy, Dr. Marigi played a key role in the evaluation and research of robotic shoulder technologies, ultimately becoming the first surgeon in the world to complete the procedure across multiple platforms. Today, Dr. Marigi routinely offers this advanced technology to patients in Jacksonville, Florida, throughout the Southeast, and across the Country.
If you are considering a shoulder replacement (shoulder arthroplasty) or want to learn more about robotic shoulder replacements, contact Dr. Erick Marigi, an orthopedic shoulder surgeon at Mayo Clinic in Florida serving the communities of Jacksonville, Florida and beyond.
