If you suffer from severe knee arthritis, total knee replacement surgery may help provide pain relief and restore function. At Tidewater Orthopaedics, our fellowship-trained joint replacement surgeons have extensive experience performing knee replacement procedures.
Our surgeons use state-of-the-art techniques like muscle-sparing approaches and computer-assisted navigation to implant the knee replacement components with precision. We are a Mako Total Knee facility, and this technology allows us to be precise and reduces recovery time for our patients. Mako SmartRobotics' 3D CT-based planning coupled with AccuStop haptic technology helps our surgeons plan for better outcomes like less pain and quicker recovery than manual surgery. This helps ensure proper alignment and positioning for optimal results. We individualize surgical techniques and select implants based on each patient's needs and anatomy.
We create customized recovery plans to help you regain mobility and independence. Most patients walk on the day of surgery and go home the same day. Additionally, we have an in-house physical therapy team ready to get you moving.
We aim to help knee replacement patients get back to the activities they love as quickly and safely as possible. Let us help determine if total knee replacement is right for you.
