Do you suffer from chronic knee pain? Considering knee surgery? Medicine has taken a giant step forward in knee replacement options
For those suffering with chronic knee pain, there is good news! Options for knee replacement surgery have improved and the benefits include a shorter hospital stay, less blood loss and potentially less scarring. Athletic Orthopedic and Reconstructive Center is pleased to be among the first practices in the South Florida area to offer custom knee replacement. Using this new technique, we can now match the fit and placement of the total knee implant to the patient’s unique anatomy.
Why is this important? Because everyone’s knees are different. These differences, determined by factors such as age, gender, ethnicity and lifestyle, can have a tremendous impact on the success of knee replacement surgery. Just slight variations in the way the implant fits can lead to pain, stiffness, instability and potentially shorter implant life.
With custom knee replacement, surgeons can preserve more of the patient’s own bone and ligaments, which allows for better implant fit and knee alignment. This means that patients have the opportunity to experience a more “natural” feeling knee, greater range of motion and a quicker return to normal activities.
