Total Knee Replacement
Total Knee Replacement
Demand Matching in Total Knee Replacements – Our philosophy
Total knee replacements provide a logical solution for patients with severe knee arthritis. The important factors for a successful knee replacement are:
• Assuring that the patient is in good general good health as determined by his or her internist or primary care physician.
• A surgeon who performs more than fifty total joint replacements a year in a hospital with a dedicated “total joint replacement team.”
• Computer-designed instruments to assist the surgeon’s judgment in placing the total knee implant materials.
• A multi- model post-operative pain control program and a rehabilitative team that guides patients through progressive exercises.
In addition to these mandatory requirements for highly successful total knee replacement, we recognize that patients vary greatly in size, shape and activity level. We are very careful to match the available variety of total joint replacement implants to each patient. Each patient’s needs are analyzed and discussed with our entire surgical team. If these technical details interest you, do not hesitate to talk to Dr. Bryan or his staff. |
