Knee Resurfacing
We continue to see great successes with knee resurfacing. I have treated a number of patients who were told that their only option was total knee replacement who have been very happy with the more minimal procedure. Here is video story on WebMD starring one of our most impressive patients:

Knee Resurfacing in the News
Our Knee
Resurfacing patient J.E. who has returned to work as
a martial arts instructor after her surgery has been
featured on a number of local news stations. She is
an inspirational story for anyone who doesn't want to
give up the activity they love. See one of the
stories at:

I’ve seen some pretty
dramatic improvements in patients who have had knee
resurfacing. Many of them were told that total knee
replacement was the only option for their arthritis.
Many are shocked to hear that there is an alternative
that not only preserves their bone and ligaments, but
can be done as an outpatient procedure.
Progressive Knee Replacement
While this concept has been working very well for my patients, it’s extremely important to pick the right operation for the right patients, otherwise, they may continue to have pain. This algorithm helps to insure that treatment is as optimal as possible for each person no matter what their age, race or gender may be.
More Knee Resurfacing
One of the big advantages of this procedure is the recovery time. Most of our patients are able to walk without a cane in just a few days and return to driving and exercising in about a week. It’s been so impressive, that I often have to get people to slow down, because they are feeling so much better. It’s really a dramatic difference from a total knee replacement. The xray to the left shows how small this implant is.
