Total Knee Replacement
Struggling with knee pain?
Total knee replacement, also known as knee arthroplasty, could be the solution you need to regain mobility and greatly reduce your pain. At Arizona Sports Medicine Center, our team of experienced physicians specializes in total knee replacement procedures to help you get back on your feet and back to the activities you enjoy.
Common Procedures for Knee Replacement
At Arizona Sports Medicine Center, we offer advanced robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery using the Mako Robotic system. This technology allows our surgeons to create a personalized surgical plan based on your unique anatomy, leading to more precise implant placement and potentially faster recovery times. With robotic surgery, patients may experience less pain and achieve better outcomes compared to traditional knee replacement techniques.
Some of our experienced orthopedic surgeons utilize muscle sparing techniques to perform knee replacement surgery in order to minimize trauma to surrounding muscles and tissues. By carefully preserving muscle integrity, patients may benefit from quicker rehabilitation and a smoother recovery process. Muscle sparing techniques aim to optimize patient outcomes and enhance long-term joint function, allowing individuals to return to their daily activities with greater ease and comfort.
Post-Operative Care Instructions
Following total knee replacement surgery, proper post-operative care is essential for a successful recovery. Our team will provide you with comprehensive instructions tailored to your specific needs, including pain management techniques, rehabilitation exercises, and precautions to prevent complications. It's important to follow these guidelines closely to ensure a smooth recovery and achieve optimal results.
