PODCAST: Lateral Knee Replacement: The View

​The lateral approach to TKA provides a unique window into lateral knee mechanics, enabling direct visualization and precise measurement of critical kinematic movements. This real-time assessment allows surgeons to fine-tune the procedure. ​However, the trade-off is reduced visibility of the medial compartment, though this causes less disruption to medial soft tissue, which may be beneficial. Future studies are needed to study the significance of these tradeoffs. Results will vary

Patient Testimonials
1  week after lateral side knee replacement surgery
Single injection Hyaluronate injections are now available for the treatment of knee pain. Is Hyaluronate right for me? It is used to treat knee pain secondary to the pain of osteoarthritis. If you have not obtained pain relief with a steroid injection and pain pills, consider a single Hyaluronate knee injection that may result in long lasting pain relief.

The Potential Benefits of the Minimally Invasive  Anterior Supine Procedure compared to traditional hip replacement are:
  • Quicker recovery due to limited muscle separation during surgery  
  • Less pain due to reduced tissue damage
  • Performed with just one small incision
  • Fewer limitations and restrictions after surgery
  • Same day surgery
  • More accurate implant placement

The side approach to total knee replacement 

Dr. Michael Messieh offers a minimally invasive, muscle sparing approach to knee replacement surgery. The muscles over the knee are not cut but rather lifted up out of the way. This medial side approach may result in significantly faster recovery and more strength and mobility in the new knee.

• Our program is often results in the majority of patients going home in 2 days or less!  

• Our patients report pain levels < 2 on a scale of 0 to 10 at the time of discharge from the hospital!

• Our patients walk more than 100ft before they go home from the hospital!

• The majority of our patients are just using a cane 1 week after surgery!

Few orthopedic surgeons are trained in this procedure. Results may vary
