Knee Replacement
Knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a procedure aimed at restoring function to a damaged knee joint. This operation involves replacing the affected joint components with artificial implants, addressing conditions caused by arthritis, wear and tear, disease, or trauma.
Similar to hip surgeries, knee procedures can be performed with a minimally invasive approach, resulting in reduced post-operative discomfort and quicker recovery times. Some knee surgeries are even offered on an outpatient basis. Additionally, robotic assistance enhances precision and maneuverability within the tight confines of the knee joint.
The choice between a partial knee replacement (unicompartmental) or total knee replacement depends on the extent of arthritis affecting the knee. Your orthopedic surgeon will provide a comprehensive diagnosis and recommend the most suitable surgical option for your condition, ensuring you understand the expected outcomes. Our experienced team of orthopedic surgeons specializes in various knee surgeries, including:
This procedure, also known as unicompartmental knee replacement, is ideal for patients with limited knee arthritis. It replaces only the damaged portion of the knee, preserving healthy tissue and promoting a quicker recovery. Partial knee replacement offers a more targeted solution, reducing pain, enhancing function, and providing excellent results.
Total knee replacement, or total knee arthroplasty, is the gold standard for advanced knee arthritis. It restores the entire joint, offering comprehensive pain relief and significantly improved function. This procedure has a proven track record of success in enhancing patients' quality of life.
Minimally invasive knee replacement surgery employs smaller incisions, resulting in less postoperative pain, a shorter recovery period, and improved surgical precision. This approach prioritizes patient comfort and efficient rehabilitation.
Robotic-assisted partial knee replacement with MAKOplasty® combines cutting-edge technology and surgical expertise to achieve unparalleled accuracy. The robotic system assists surgeons in optimizing implant placement, leading to superior outcomes for patients undergoing partial knee replacement.
For eligible patients, same-day knee replacement offers the convenience of outpatient surgery, allowing individuals to return home on the day of their procedure. This approach prioritizes patient comfort, reducing hospital stays, and accelerating the recovery process.
Knee osteotomy is a surgical procedure that corrects deformities or damage within the knee joint by realigning bones. This intervention effectively addresses specific conditions, promoting improved knee function and pain relief.
Knee revision surgery is a specialized procedure that addresses complications or wear in a prior knee replacement. This surgical intervention aims to restore optimal joint function, alleviate discomfort, and enhance patients' overall well-being.
