Total Knee Replacement

Experience new knee surgery with the Muscle Sparing Knee Surgery procedures for better results. The knee is a complex, hinged joint. Conditions such as arthritis, old fractures, abnormal stress and aging may damage the joint and cause rough areas to develop. Replacement involves resurfacing the bones of the knee joint. Depending on your condition, one, two, or all three of these surfaces may be replaced.

ACL Reconstruction

In addition to total knee replacements, Madison Orthopedics treats torn ACL’s. ACL reconstruction is surgery to reconstruct the ligament in the center of your knee. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) connects your shin bone (tibia) to your thigh bone (femur). A tear of this ligament can cause your knee to give way during physical activity.

FAQ’s

What is a total knee replacement?

Total knee replacement involves resurfacing the bones of the knee joint. There are three bony surfaces that can become rough and painful:

  • femur
  • tibia
  • patella (knee cap)

Depending on your condition, one, two, or all three of these surfaces may be replaced. The type of orthopedic surgery you have depends on your age. Also, the amount of damage to your knee, and your medical history. A consultation with your doctor will decide the next best action for your total knee.

Should I have joint replacement surgery?

Dr. Eysser will discuss the options with you. He will review your medical history, the images of your joints and other pertinent factors. This includes your pain levels and response to other treatments.

Will my activities be limited after knee surgery?

Yes. High-impact recreational activities should be limited for a time after knee surgery. This includes and is not limited to the following: 

  • contact sports
  • running
  • singles tennis
  • skiing
  • basketball
  • any other high impact on recently operated knee

Low-impact activities, such as bowling, walking, golfing, dancing, swimming, etc. are encouraged in order to protect your leg while regaining strength and movement of the joint. Your surgeon and therapist may discuss further limitations with you after your knee surgery.
