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 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.

Partial Knee Resurfacing Knee replacement surgery can be either partial knee resurfacing and or total knee replacement. If a Total Knee Replacement surgery is chosen, all three compartments of the knee are diseased. In this procedure, all three compartments of the knee are replaced. Total Knee Replacement is not always best for patients who may have arthritis in only one or two compartments of the knee. Partial knee replacement involves resurfacing the inner portion of the knee. The choice on how much of the knee to replace or resurface is made on an individual basis. Partial knee resurfacing is a less invasive surgical treatment option for adults with OA. Only the diseased portions of the bone and cartilage are removed and resurfaced while preserving the healthy structures. The benefits of Partial Knee Resurfacing Include:
During the procedure, only the diseased portion of the knee is resurfaced. The partial knee implant is placed in the joint using the robotic Partial Knee Resurfacing arm. |
