Evidence-Based Treatments from Board-Certified Orthopedic Knee Surgeons
in Orange County, CA
Knee replacement surgery, also known as total knee arthroplasty, is a minimally
invasive surgical procedure designed to help patients suffering from knee
pain caused by degenerative joint disease, knee arthritis, a traumatic
injury/accident, or a knee deformity. Because the knees are one of the
body’s most important weight-bearing joints, total knee replacement
can significantly improve the quality of life of patients who need the surgery.
Am I a candidate for Knee Replacement Surgery?
When patients are experiencing severe knee pain or knee stiffness that
limits everyday activities, including walking, climbing stairs, and getting
in and out of chairs it is time to see a board-certified knee surgeon
at Newport Orthopedic Institute for a personalized treatment plan. If
nonsurgical treatments such as anti-inflammatories, cortisone injections,
and physical therapy haven’t provided significant relief to your
knee pain, it may be time to consider total knee replacement surgery.
What to expect from Total Knee Replacement?
Knee replacement is a relatively common procedure, and it significantly improves, if not
eliminates, the patient’s knee pain through the removal of their
damaged cartilage or arthritic bone surfaces from the thighbone, shinbone
and kneecap and replacing it with an artificial joint (prosthesis) to
restore joint integrity. This allows the patient to gradually gain better
knee functionality to perform daily activities without pain or functional
limitations. The goal of knee replacement surgery is to resurface the
damaged parts of the knee joint and to relieve knee pain that cannot be
controlled by other nonsurgical treatments.
Patients who undergo knee replacement surgery will be admitted to
Hoag Orthopedic Institute. Patients can be discharged the same day as their procedure depending
on the patient’s health conditions and help at home. This will allow
for a more comfortable recovery safely at home. The length of the procedure
varies, but usually is between 1 and 2 hours. Your surgeon will choose
the technique and implant best suited for your medical condition, utilizing
the latest surgical techniques as well as pain management protocols to
accelerate recovery
At Newport Orthopedic Institute, your orthopedic surgeons will get you
back to your daily activities by ensuring a personalized treatment and
recovery plan that restores your mobility through evidence-based medicine
and excellent patient care. Our knee surgeons are trained in the newest
surgical techniques utilizing state-of-the-art navigation technology and
