Knee Replacement or Resurfacing Surgery:

Get a new lease on life!

It's easy to take your knees for granted. But a painful, stiff knee can keep you from doing the simple things in life, even walking without pain. Fortunately, you and your health care team can make a joint effort to return you to an active lifestyle.

Knee replacement and resurfacing are safe, reliable procedures that can relieve your pain and stiffness and return you to most of the activities you enjoy.

Why is surgery needed?

• To alleviate pain
• To restore lost function
• To correct deformity (bowed or knock knees)
• To improve the quality of life

Warning signs

• Swelling
• Heat / Warmth
• Feeling of giving way or instability
• Pain that interferes with daily activities

Knee Resurfacing is performed on an outpatient basis.
For Knee Replacement , a short hospital stay of 3-5 days, including exercises and rehabilitation, is designed to return you to your normal lifestyle.

Our goal is to give you a stable, pain-free joint to improve your quality of life.

A positive attitude is the key
to a successful recovery!

Recovery times vary, but with knee resurfacing, most patients return to their normal activities in 6 weeks, and with knee replacement,
8-12 weeks.
