Do you experience a diminished quality of life due to painful knees? Minimally invasive knee replacement surgery may allow you to begin enjoying an active life again – and more quickly than you may have thought possible.

Enormous progress has been made in knee replacement over the past several years, thanks to less-invasive surgical procedures and improvements in the function and durability of artificial implants.

Innovative, minimally invasive procedures are performed with smaller, non-muscle cutting incisions, which result in smaller scars, less pain, and allow for a faster recovery than traditional surgery methods. Furthermore, Englewood Hospital’s implant inventory is extensive, enabling surgeons to provide patients with the best fitting implant the first time. This helps prevent repeat or revision surgeries in the future, which can be a great inconvenience for patients. In fact, Englewood Hospital surgeons were the first in the area to utilize knee implants contoured specifically for women.

At Englewood Hospital, knee replacement procedures are performed within an hour. As many of the Medical Center’s surgeons are specially trained in blood conservation techniques, the typical procedure requires no blood transfusions.

Patients are able to walk around within hours and are usually discharged from the hospital within two or three days. Normal, daily routines can be resumed in just four to six weeks following the procedure.
