Knee Resurfacing
Knee Resufacing Update

I think
this procedure will be a major improvement for a
number of our patients. It can be done
athroscopically with a small incision for the femoral
(thing bone) component which allows most patients to
go home the same day. Pain is much less than with a
total knee replacement and the physical therapy is
much easier. The parts are so small that, if a
patient needs a total knee replacement someday, they
will not interfere. Not everyone is a candidate, but
I think this procedure will spare a lot of people
from a premature knee replacement
