Knee Replacement Surgery
Your knee can be damaged by injury or arthritis. The cartilage, or smooth tissue, that lines or cushions the joint wears down, resulting in pain and stiffness. Total Knee Replacement is a surgery in which a new artificial knee joint is inserted. It has a smooth surface that protects the bones and allows movement. Recovery times are now approximately 4-8 weeks and include a physical therapy program.

Makoplasty
MAKOplasty® Partial Knee Resurfacing is an innovative treatment option for adults living with early to midstage osteoarthritis in the medial (inner), patellofemoral (top), or lateral (outer) compartments of the knee. During the procedure, the diseased portion of the knee is resurfaced, sparing the patient’s healthy bone and surrounding tissue. An implant is then secured in the joint to allow the knee to move smoothly again. For many people with chronic knee pain, MAKOplasty could be a viable alternative to total knee replacement or traditional manual partial knee resurfacing. Patients can experience minimal blood loss and have smaller surgical incisions, plus they may have shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery. Many return to an active lifestyle within weeks of the procedure.
