Do you need a knee replacement?

If severe knee pain is making it difficult for you to walk, sleep and get through your daily activities, a knee replacement might be the right option for you. At Lehigh Valley Orthopedic Institute, our surgeons perform more total joint replacements than anyone else in the area, and we use the latest techniques and technology to get you long-lasting results.

Understanding knee replacement surgery

Knee joint replacement is surgery to replace a knee joint with a man-made joint in order to reduce pain and restore function. It’s one of the most common surgical procedures in the U.S., most often used when the knee has been damaged by arthritis. Injuries also can make a knee replacement necessary.

Robotic-assisted knee replacement

Robotic technology can help a surgeon in precision cutting and balancing during surgery. Robotic knee replacements result in less pain, less need for inpatient physical therapy, less time in the hospital and better knee flexion. This means better outcomes and faster return to normal activity. At Lehigh Valley Orthopedic Institute, we have three each of the following systems for robotic knee replacement:

VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution from DePuy Synthes, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson. This digital platform uses data before, during and after the procedure that allows the surgeon to tailor the surgery to meet a specific patient’s needs.

Stryker’s Mako SmartRobotics™ System allows the surgery to be preplanned using a 3D virtual model.
