Total Knee Replacement

Blue

A Proven Solution for Advanced Knee Arthritis & Chronic Joint Pain

​

A total knee replacement, also called a total knee arthroplasty, is a highly effective surgical procedure designed to relieve knee pain, improve mobility, and restore function when arthritis severely damages the knee joint. During surgery, the worn cartilage and bone surfaces of the femur (thighbone), tibia (shinbone), and sometimes the patella (kneecap) are replaced with durable metal and medical-grade plastic implants that allow the knee to glide smoothly again. 

 

Notably, while the procedure is called a total knee replacement, it is better described as a total knee resurfacing. What does that mean? This means you keep all of your own tendons, ligaments, and muscles, with the exception of the ACL and PCL. The goal of the procedure is to be as minimally invasive as possible, in order to resurface the parts of the knee that are worn from arthritis, then get you on your road to Regain your Mobility to Restore your Life. 

​

​

Who Is Total Knee Replacement For?

​

Total knee replacement is most commonly recommended for patients with:

  • Osteoarthritis

  • Rheumatoid arthritis

  • Post-traumatic arthritis

  • Severe cartilage loss or “bone-on-bone” contact

​

It is best indicated for individuals who experience:

  • Chronic knee pain that limits walking, standing, or daily activities

  • Stiffness and reduced range of motion

  • Knee deformity (bow-legged or knock-kneed alignment)

  • Pain at night or at rest

  • Failure of conservative treatments, including medications, physical therapy, injections, and bracing

​

Most importantly, if your knee pain is impacting your activities and quality of life, then knee replacement may be an option for you.

Benefits of Total Knee Replacement

​

Most patients experience:

  • Significant pain relief

  • Improved mobility and physical function

  • Better alignment and stability

  • Increased ability to walk, climb stairs, and return to low-impact activities

  • Enhanced quality of life

​

Modern implants are designed for durability, with many lasting 15–25 years or longer depending on patient activity level, bone quality, and implant type.

​

Is Total Knee Replacement Right For You?

​

  • Is your knee pain affecting your daily activities and quality of life?

  • Have you tried non-surgical treatments and they do not control your pain or dysfunction?

  • Are you unable to maintain an active lifestyle to your desire due to pain or stiffness?

  • Are you motivated to participate in physical therapy and rehabilitation after your surgery?

​

If the answer to most of these questions is "Yes!", then an evaluation and recommendation for your knee would be beneficial to you.
