Knee replacement
Cartilage in your knee can become damaged from arthritis, injury or normal wear-and-tear. If you are experiencing chronic knee pain or limited function, you may benefit from a knee replacement surgery. During this procedure, an orthopedic surgeon will remove the affected cartilage and replace it with artificial pieces.

Knee replacement surgeries we offer
Our goal is to minimize your knee pain and restore your body's functionality.
Robot-assisted knee replacement
We offer an advanced surgical system for performing partial and total knee replacement. This robot-assisted technology creates a comprehensive 3D digital model of your knee during surgery, eliminating the need to get a computerized tomography (CT) scan before surgery and reducing your radiation exposure. The model allows your surgeon to carefully study your knee in detail. With a complete view of your unique anatomy, your surgeon is able to perform a more accurate placement of the artificial knee.
This technique optimizes your knee’s range of motion, soft tissue balance and function for a more natural fit and a quicker, smoother recovery. Robot-assisted surgery is minimally invasive, which means a smaller incision, less blood loss and a quicker recovery time.
Knee replacement recovery
Surgery is only a part of your treatment plan in our clinic. In addition to your knee replacement, quality recovery can be achieved through comprehensive physical therapy and rehabilitation. Our surgical and rehab teams collaborate on a plan tailored to your needs and goals. They work with you to develop a recovery strategy while answering any questions you or your family may have.
Typically, your rehabilitation begins the day of surgery with you walking from the stretcher to your bed after leaving the recovery room. After you leave the hospital, your physical therapist may recommend you continue physical therapy either at one of our hospitals or at a location close to your home.
