Surgical Treatment
The goal of joint replacement and reconstructive surgery is to relieve pain in the joint caused by damage to cartilage and bone. The doctors at Advanced Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine Institute provide many advanced knee surgery options, including:
Knee replacement and resurfacing surgeries replace worn-out surfaces of the knee with advanced implants, which allow pain-free, relatively normal activity. These minimally invasive treatments are recommended for knee arthritis if non-surgical treatments have failed and your knee pain is limiting your lifestyle.

MAKOPLASTY – ROBOTIC-ARM GUIDED PARTIAL KNEE RESURFACING
The goal of any knee replacement surgery is to provide a pain-free knee that allows relatively normal activities and increases your knee’s durability. MAKOplasty is a highly advanced surgical procedure in which the surgeon uses a robotic arm to assist in planning and preparing the knee for the use of knee replacement implants. MAKOplasty may result in improved surgical outcomes and relief from pain for patients suffering from early to mid-stage knee osteoarthritis. Partial knee resurfacing surgeries, also called unicompartmental surgeries or uni knee replacement, target only the damaged sections of your knee, allowing you to retain the majority of your normal knee. To achieve the best results it is imperative that knee implants be inserted with the utmost precision so that their alignment and positioning are perfect. MAKOplasty robotic-arm surgery allows this level of precision while preserving healthy bones, cartilage and ligaments. This allows more natural knee function, relieving pain while giving you a better range of motion, better alignment, a stronger knee, and improved balance.
TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT (Total knee arthroplasty)
Total knee replacement (total knee arthroplasty or TKA) is a surgery that is performed to treat severe degenerative diseases of the knee joint. More than 542,000 people undergo the procedure each year. Modern artificial joints are designed to mimic your knee’s natural rolling, gliding motion, and a wide variety of options allows your surgeon to customize your joint for your body, age and activity level. A total knee replacement at Advanced Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine Institute can be done with the help of a mini-robot that assists your doctor to provide extraordinary surgical precision.
Arthroscopic Knee Surgery and Cartilage Repair
Depending on your specific medical situation, your doctor may be able to repair your knee damage using this minimally invasive surgical procedure. Arthroscopic surgery allows your doctor to use fiber-optic cameras and long, narrow tools to examine and repair joint damage. Arthroscopy uses just a few, small incisions, which drastically decreases your recovery time. Arthroscopic knee surgery can allow your doctor to remove “loose bodies” from your knee joint, repair torn and damaged cartilage, and repair torn ligaments.
Nonsurgical Treatment
The orthopedic specialists at Advanced Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine Institute know that knee replacement surgery is not always the best treatment option. Knees wear out for a wide variety of reasons, including osteoarthritis, inflammation from arthritis, injuries, genetics, and simple wear and tear. The first steps in treating knee arthritis are lifestyle changes, regular exercise, and weight loss. Depending on your specific medical situation, your doctor may prescribe nonsurgical treatments such as physical therapy, orthotics and bracing, medication, steroid injections or hyaluronic lubricant injections.
