DON’T ASSUME EVERY KNEE REPLACEMENT IS THE SAME
There may be more than one surgical approach — and you deserve to understand your options.
Dr. Michael Messieh, board-certified orthopedic specialist, now focuses on non-surgical knee evaluations in The Villages and Clermont, Florida.
When many patients think about knee replacement, they picture the traditional midline incision down the center of the knee. It is a common approach — but it is not the only one. Depending on the patient, other approaches may be considered, including medial or lateral approaches.
These differences can matter. Surgical approach may influence muscle disruption, pain, recovery, and rehabilitation. Every knee is different, and the right choice depends on your anatomy, activity level, and overall health.
After more than 30 years of surgical experience, Dr. Messieh no longer performs surgery. Instead, he offers careful evaluations, including examination, X-ray review when needed, and straightforward guidance to help answer questions such as:
Is surgery really needed?
Are there different surgical options?
Could this problem be managed without surgery?
Are there differences in side incision approaches?
No pressure. Just clear information so you can make the right decision for yourself.

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.
