Knee Replacement

Helping patients return to mobility with an individualized approach to total knee replacement.

Total knee replacement can be an effective treatment for patients with advanced knee arthritis who continue to experience pain, stiffness, and loss of function despite appropriate nonsurgical treatment.

The decision to proceed with surgery is based not simply on an X-ray, but on how much knee pain is affecting your mobility, independence, sleep, work, and the activities that are important to you.

Technology-Assisted Knee Replacement

I perform total knee replacement using contemporary technology designed to assist with accurate and individualized implant positioning.

Depending on the patient and surgical plan, I may utilize ROSA® robotic-assisted knee replacement or OrthoAlign® computer navigation during surgery.

These technologies provide real-time information during the procedure that can assist with assessment of alignment, implant positioning, and the individual anatomy of each patient's knee.

Technology is a tool—not a substitute for surgical judgment. My goal is to use the technique and technology that best helps me perform a well-balanced, accurately positioned knee replacement for each individual patient.

Is Knee Replacement Right for Me?

Knee replacement may be considered when advanced arthritis causes persistent pain or loss of function that has not responded adequately to reasonable nonsurgical treatment.

Common symptoms include pain with walking or stairs, stiffness, difficulty getting up from a chair, reduced walking tolerance, pain that interferes with sleep, and increasing limitations in everyday activities.

Not every patient with knee arthritis needs surgery. My goal is to understand how your knee is affecting your life, review the treatment options available to you, and help you decide whether—and when—knee replacement is appropriate.

What to Expect

Before Surgery
Your preoperative visit focuses on preparation, medical optimization, education, medications, and answering any remaining questions before surgery.

Day of Surgery
After surgery, the goal is to have you up and walking with assistance in the recovery room. Many patients are able to return home the same day when medically appropriate.

Recovery
Physical therapy and progressive activity begin the day after surgery. Most patients return for their first postoperative visit approximately two weeks after surgery, with activity gradually advanced throughout recovery.
