AI Medical Scribe for

Hip and Knee Surgeons

Dictate less, operate more. AI drafts your consult, pre-op, and post-op notes — failed conservative care, exam findings, imaging, and the surgical plan you discussed — ready to sign between clinic patients.

Sample note

What your notes will look like

A real example of the documentation Medical Scribe generates for hip and knee surgeons — ready before your patient leaves the room.

New Consult Ready to copy

Subjective

67F referred for right knee osteoarthritis. 3 years of progressive medial knee pain, now VAS 7/10, worse on stairs and after walking >400m. Failed 12 weeks of physiotherapy and one intra-articular corticosteroid injection (relief lasted 6 weeks). PMH: hypertension on ramipril 5mg daily, BMI 31. Non-smoker. No anticoagulants. NKDA.

Objective

  • Antalgic gait, mild varus alignment on standing
  • Right knee ROM 5-105 degrees; left 0-130 degrees
  • Medial joint line tenderness; no effusion; ligaments stable
  • Weight-bearing X-ray (this visit): medial compartment joint space loss, Kellgren-Lawrence grade 4, subchondral sclerosis

Assessment & Plan

End-stage medial compartment osteoarthritis, right knee, refractory to conservative management. Discussed total knee arthroplasty. Plan: pre-operative bloods and ECG, cease NSAIDs 7 days prior, VTE prophylaxis per protocol, list for right TKA. Post-op pathway reviewed: day-1 mobilization, outpatient physiotherapy, follow-up at 2 and 6 weeks.

Patient Education & Consent

Risks discussed including infection, DVT/PE, stiffness, ongoing pain, and future revision surgery. Alternatives reviewed (continued conservative care, unicompartmental replacement). Patient verbalized understanding and wishes to proceed; consent form completed.

Illustrative example. Every note is fully editable, and you control the format — SOAP, DAP, or your own custom template.

Arthroplasty clinics run fast — the notes don't

30 patients between OR days

Clinic days are packed with new consults, pre-op reviews, and 2-week, 6-week, and 3-month post-op checks — each one needing its own note before you're back in theatre.

Consent discussions must be on the record

When you discuss risks of a THA or TKA — infection, DVT, revision — the chart has to reflect exactly what was said. Thin consent documentation is where claims get lost.

ROM, imaging, and scores every visit

Flexion and extension degrees, Kellgren-Lawrence grades, VAS pain, alignment on weight-bearing films — structured data that takes longer to type than to examine.

Hip and Knee Surgeon's Note

Subjective Objective Assessment & Plan

Plus 280+ templates across every specialty — or build your own in minutes.

Built around the arthroplasty clinic

Medical Scribe records the consultation — in person or telehealth — and drafts the note while you move to the next patient. A new referral becomes a full workup with failed conservative care and surgical candidacy; a post-op check becomes a tight note on wound status, ROM progress, and rehab milestones. You review, edit, and sign.

Structured like your operative practice

The built-in Hip and Knee Surgeon’s Note organizes the visit into Subjective, Objective, and Assessment & Plan — presenting complaint and prior treatments, exam and imaging findings, then the surgical plan: procedure, pre-operative preparation, post-operative pathway, and referrals. Anticoagulants, allergies, and smoking status are captured where they matter for surgical risk.

Joint replacement is elective surgery, and the chart is your defense. Medical Scribe documents the risks, benefits, and alternatives exactly as you discussed them with the patient — never inventing findings or conversations — so your consent documentation matches what actually happened in the room.

Frequently asked questions

Does it document the risk and consent discussion?

Yes. Whatever you actually discussed — infection, DVT, revision risk, alternatives — is captured in the note from the conversation itself. It never invents a consent discussion that didn't happen, so the record reflects what the patient really heard.

Can it capture ROM measurements and imaging findings?

If you verbalize them during the exam — flexion-extension degrees, Kellgren-Lawrence grade, alignment — they land in the Objective section of the Hip and Knee Surgeon's Note, structured and ready for your records.

Does one template cover consults, pre-op, and post-op visits?

The built-in Hip and Knee Surgeon's Note (Subjective, Objective, Assessment & Plan) adapts to the visit — a new consult produces a full workup, a 6-week post-op check produces a focused wound, ROM, and rehab note. You can also build custom templates in minutes.

Is patient data secure?

Yes. Medical Scribe is HIPAA compliant, with encryption in transit and at rest. You review and sign every note before it goes anywhere near the chart.
