Total Knee: Our Qualifications for Performing Total Knee Replacements

Total knee replacement is considered by many one of the most successful surgical procedure in orthopaedics. It produces a new knee joint which functions in a very similar manner to the normal anatomic knee and is relatively painless. More importantly, it allows a return to activity and a freedom from limitation, which are gratifying to patients, families, and surgeons alike. While the idea of now having an artificial knee joint is intimidating to some individuals, it is one of the safest and most effective medical procedures to maintain freedom from pain and to achieve your desired outcome of personal independence so critical to you. Naples Sports Medicine has been performing Total Knee Replacements longer than any other orthopaedic group in Southwest Florida. The staff of the group is considered among the finest orthopaedic surgeons. People come from a wide geographic area to seek surgery and consultations for the same kind of surgery you are considering now. Though most hospitals and surgeons perform few joint replacements, these operations are almost routine at Naples Sports Medicine. A large number of primary (first time) and revision (second and third time) operations are performed each year in a professional, controlled setting. Our surgeons have received national recognition for the development of our joint replacement program and have been instrumental in the development and investigation of new devices for joint replacement surgery. We have frequent visitors from other countries to watch our techniques and learn from our doctors.
