Operative Arthroscopy: Examination of
the knee or shoulder using a small telescope
to discover and document the disease or
injury with video and still photography. The
problem area can then be treated with a
variety of microsurgical techniques. To
learn more, please visit the
Arthroscopy Association of North America
and the American Academy of
Orthopaedic Surgeons websites.
Arthroscopic Meniscus, Cartilage Surface
and Ligament Repairs: Arthroscopic
excision, repair, or replacement with graft
material, for injured soft tissue structures
in the knee and shoulder. A wide range of
the latest proven techniques and materials
are used to restore form, stability,
mobility and pain-free function. To learn
more, please visit the
Arthroscopy Association of North America
and the
Shoulder Surgeon websites.
ConforMIS iUNI: The iUNI is breakthrough technology that uses a cat-scan image to custom build a partial knee replacement. The iUNI is performed in an out-patient facility and is a minimally invasive procedure. The many benefits of the iUNI include: less bone cutting, pre-navigation for best leg alignment, may be done under local and regional anesthesia, immediate full weight-bearing, and lower cost. To
learn more, please visit the
ConforMIS website.
ConforMIS iTotal: The iTotal is a custom total knee replacement. A cat-scan of the patient's knee is used to enable a 3-D manufacturing process to construct a one-of-a-kind, pre-navigated surface replacement. The advantages may be less bone resection and a more normal knee function. The iTotal is performed using minimally invasive surgical technique and may be done without general anesthesia, possibly in an outpatient setting. To
learn more, please visit the
ConforMIS website.
Repicci Partial Knee Surface Replacement:
The most bone-sparing partial knee
replacement (Unicompartmental Knee
Arthroplasty), usually used for lateral side
arthritis. A fixed plastic bearing surface
is placed in the knee via a minimally
invasive surgery, which may be performed on
an outpatient basis. To learn more, please
visit the
Repicci website.
Oxford Mobile Bearing Partial Knee
Replacement: A minimally invasive
partial knee replacement for the medial
side, with an excellent history of survival
for over 30 years. Restores near normal knee
motion, feel, and function. To learn more,
please visit the
Biomet website.
MIS Total and Partial Knee Replacement: "MIS" refers to a variety
of minimally invasive, total or partial knee surface
replacements, fixed or mobile, designed to
reduce the trauma from surgery and allow the
patient to walk with full weight bearing on
the same day as the surgery. No general
anesthesia is necessary, and post-operative
pain is reduced. The type of prosthesis used
is selected to best serve the purpose of the
patient. The goal is a pain-free, fully
functional, long lasting result. To learn
more, please visit the American Academy of
Orthopaedic Surgeons, the
DePuy, the
Zimmer, the
Biomet, the ConforMIS, and the Stryker websites.
Total and Partial Shoulder Replacements:
Minimally invasive shoulder replacements
done using the latest proven techniques for
pain-free, enduring results. To learn more,
please visit the
Tornier and the
Shoulder Surgeon websites.
A Comprehensive Joint Replacement
Program: Preoperative patient teaching
and accelerated post-operative
rehabilitation help speed recovery from
surgery. An advanced anesthesia technique
helps eliminate the need for narcotic
medicine after surgery. Patients can
typically walk on the day of surgery and in
most cases leave the hospital in several
days. To learn more, please visit the
Biomet and the
Zimmer websites. |
