Knee replacement
Cartilage in your knee can become damaged from arthritis, injury or normal wear-and-tear. If you are experiencing chronic knee pain or limited function, you may benefit from a knee replacement surgery. During this procedure, an orthopedic surgeon will remove the affected cartilage and replace it with artificial pieces.

Types of knee replacement surgery
Your orthopedic surgeon may decide to use a minimally invasive surgical technique, such as robot-assisted surgery. We can also use knee resurfacing implant technology, which customizes the knee implant to your unique condition. This helps ensure the most comfortable replacement possible and often means shorter recovery times. We proudly offer:
- Partial knee replacement - When damage is limited to a portion of the knee, our surgeons can spare healthy tissue and bone through partial knee replacement. This is also called knee resurfacing.
- Total knee replacement - This surgery involves the thigh, shin and kneecap bones that form the knee joint. Your implant may vary depending on your weight, size and activity level.
