Total Knee Replacement
Did you know that, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 90% of patients who have had total knee replacement surgery have experienced a drastic improvement in their ability to participate in daily activities without pain? If you experience chronic knee pain, your doctor may discuss this procedure with you.
At Physicians Regional Healthcare System, the approach to total knee replacement differs from the traditional approach found at many hospitals. Our knee replacement surgeries are performed in order to allow for a completely natural knee motion post-recovery. Taking into consideration your health history, age, weight and other variables, doctors can create a personalized surgical plan for your knee replacement, that strives to allow you to have an easier time getting back to your daily routine after surgery.
What Is a Total Knee Replacement?
Total knee replacement is a surgery designed to help restore function and relieve pain from damaged or diseased knees. At Physicians Regional, surgeons frequently perform this surgery, removing damaged bone and cartilage and replacing it with an artificial joint that feels like a natural and healthy knee joint. For many patients, this type of surgery drastically improves their quality of life, relieving them of crippling pain.
How Is Total Knee Replacement Done?
Our total knee replacement surgery procedure differs from most in the sense that our artificial knees are designed to mesh with the body in order to create the most natural knee motion possible.
Orthopedic surgeons at both Naples locations use specialized technology to perform these total knee replacement procedures. This technology may include the use of robotic-arm assisted technology, which greatly assists the surgeon in removing the diseased bone and cartilage in the knee, allowing the surgeon to effectively insert the artificial implant.
Our goal in total knee replacement surgery is to provide you with a personalized surgery plan based on your unique anatomy, diagnosis and health background, so that we can effectively reduce your knee pain and improve your knee’s function. Surgeons use minimally invasive procedures when possible. However, not all patients are candidates for a minimally invasive approach. Talk to your doctor to learn more.
When Is Total Knee Replacement Surgery Needed?
Orthopedic surgeons perform total knee surgery for various reasons. Perhaps the most common reason for this type of surgery is to reduce or relieve chronic pain in the knees due to osteoarthritis. Many people in need of this surgery may have trouble performing daily tasks such as:
- Walking
- Running
- Climbing stairs
- Sitting down
- Standing up
- Sleeping or sitting without pain
