Total knee replacement is often the last option when conservative options fail to relieve the pain and retard the progression of joint damage in patients with severe arthritis. Knee replacement surgery involves replacing the damaged cartilage and bone from the surface of the knee joint with a synthetic implant.
Benefits of a custom knee replacement include:
- Minimally invasive technique
- Minimal blood loss
- Quicker recovery
- Precision fit and knee alignment
- Shorter operative time
- Less chance of infection
- Durability
- Less postoperative pain
- Greater range of motion
- Quicker return to normal activities
