When debilitating knee pain, stiffness, and discomfort begin to limit your life, a knee replacement can feel like the only way forward. The prospect of surgery, however, often raises questions about precision and healing time. The good news is that orthopedics is constantly evolving, and today, advanced technology can help achieve surgical excellence. Learn how robotic-assisted knee replacement is setting a new standard for patient outcomes and a quicker return to mobility.
Sensor-enabled implants and materials engineered for long-term durability, surgical innovations are transforming what’s possible in the operating room. These innovations, plus robotic technologies, offer outcomes that were not possible a decade ago, giving patients improved function and confidence in their recovery.
Preparing for hip or knee replacement surgery is about creating the right conditions for healing during recovery. One lifestyle habit that can significantly affect your surgical outcome is smoking.
A new joint can change a patient’s life, but true recovery takes more than surgical precision. Strength, mobility, and confidence must all be rebuilt carefully and consistently. How this is achieved makes all the difference. Here’s why physical therapy is the key to ensuring a successful recovery.
