A partial knee replacement is a surgical procedure aimed at alleviating knee pain and improving joint function, particularly in cases where only one compartment of the knee is affected by osteoarthritis. The emphasis on a minimally-invasive approach ensures that the surgery involves smaller incisions, reducing tissue trauma and leading to quicker recovery times. By adopting a ligament-sparing technique, Dr. Pedneault aims to preserve the natural ligament structures surrounding the knee, promoting better joint stability and reducing the risk of complications. This approach allows for more normal knee kinematics, meaning the patient can experience a greater range of motion and more natural movement patterns post-surgery. With the combination of minimally-invasive techniques and ligament preservation, patients may enjoy faster rehabilitation, reduced scarring, and an overall improved quality of life.
A total knee replacement is a surgical procedure designed for patients experiencing severe knee osteoarthritis affecting more than one compartment of the knee joint. This comprehensive intervention involves replacing the entire knee joint with an artificial prosthesis. Despite the complexity of the procedure, advancements in medical technology have allowed for a minimally-invasive approach, where smaller incisions are made to reduce tissue disruption and promote faster healing. Dr. Pedneault uses the latest implant technology and caters his approach to each patient individually. Total knee replacement can significantly alleviate pain, correct deformities, and restore mobility, allowing patients to return to a more active and fulfilling lifestyle.
Total hip replacement is often hailed as the operation of the century for its ability to provide complete relief from the debilitating and excruciating pain caused by hip osteoarthritis. During the surgery, the damaged hip joint is replaced with an artificial prosthesis, meticulously crafted to replicate the natural structure and function of the hip. This transformative procedure not only eliminates the source of pain but also restores mobility, improves joint stability, and enhances overall quality of life for patients. With advancements in surgical techniques and prosthetic materials, modern total hip replacements have become increasingly durable, allowing patients to enjoy the benefits for many years to come. The surgery has revolutionized the treatment of hip osteoarthritis, helping individuals regain their independence, mobility, and the ability to engage in daily activities without being hampered by debilitating hip pain.
