For meniscus tears and other ligament, ACL, bone fracture, and cartilage injuries of the knee, arthroscopic and minimally invasive surgery can be performed on an outpatient basis.
For more severe changes of arthritis, total knee arthroplasty and partial knee replacement are available with advanced robotic arm assisted technology using
Mako SmartRobotics. With Mako SmartRobotics, a CT scan, and an individualized plan, allow accurate bone cuts for a less invasive, more predictable approach to surgery. Utilizing the robot arm assisted total knee arthroplasty allows for less pain in recovery and decreased blood loss; these and other clinical benefits have shown positive outcomes when compared to traditional techniques.
