Total Knee Replacement

Total knee arthroplasty, commonly known as knee replacement surgery, is a procedure where the damaged or worn-out surfaces of your knee joint are replaced with artificial components including metal and heavy duty plastic. This surgery is typically recommended for individuals suffering from severe knee pain or disability due to conditions like arthritis. The goal is to relieve pain, improve function, and enhance quality of life. After the surgery, most patients can expect to regain mobility and return to daily activities with reduced discomfort over the course of several months.

Dr. Abblitt utilizes a minimally invasive approach for a total knee replacement which involves measures such as a smaller incision, and less trauma to surrounding tissue. The components are made of a titanium alloy and highly crosslinked polyethylene.
