Knee Replacement

Let Us Take the Worry Out of Total Joint Replacement

Knees can wear down over time. Replacing damaged joints with artificial ones is safe when other treatments haven’t provided you with relief. Our patients typically return home within days and fully resume normal activities in weeks with great results. We’ve helped many people through total knee replacement.

At St. Luke’s Orthopedics, our orthopedic specialists often encourage nonsurgical methods first before discussing surgery. Many conditions causing knee pain may improve with nonsurgical treatments such as exercise, physical therapy, knee sleeves and braces, topical ointments, injections and medications. If these aren’t bringing you relief, your doctor will make sure you understand your options, including both total knee replacement and partial knee replacement.

We offer comprehensive care tailored to your unique needs, including computer-assisted techniques to improve precision during surgery. Your orthopedic care team will guide you through every step of knee replacement from evaluation and surgery to rehabilitation and beyond.
