Many patients ask about the subvastus approach because it preserves the quadriceps muscle and may support a smoother early recovery after knee replacement. What Is a Muscle-Sparing (Subvastus) Knee Replacement? Traditional knee replacement techniques often involve splitting or partially cutting the quadriceps tendon to gain access to the knee joint. A muscle-sparing knee replacement, commonly performed using the subvastus approach, reaches the knee by working underneath the v

How Does MAKO Robotic Hip Replacement Work? MAKO robotic-assisted hip replacement combines advanced CT-based planning with real-time surgical guidance to personalize your procedure. Your surgeon remains in complete control while robotic technology helps optimize implant positioning, restore hip biomechanics, and deliver precision tailored to your unique anatomy. If you've been told you need a hip replacement, you've probably heard about robotic-assisted surgery. One of the mo

For many people, the idea of a knee replacement still brings to mind several days in the hospital, significant pain, and a long recovery. Fortunately, that picture is outdated. Today, many patients are able to have an outpatient knee replacement, walk within hours of surgery, and recover in the comfort of their own home. Advances in surgical technique, robotic technology, anesthesia, and pain management have transformed the knee replacement experience. If you've been delaying

Modern hip replacement is designed to relieve pain and help patients return to the activities they enjoy. One of the most common questions I hear from patients is: "How long will my hip replacement last?" For many years, patients were told that a hip replacement would last approximately 15 to 20 years. While that estimate was reasonable based on older implants and materials, modern evidence suggests today's hip replacements may last substantially longer. The truth is that the

It often starts small. A twinge when you stand up after sitting too long. A dull ache after a walk. A stiffness that makes tying your shoes feel like a stretch. It’s easy to assume hip pain is simply part of getting older, but not all hip pain comes from the same place. The hip region is a crossroads of joints, muscles, and nerves. Pain in that area can originate from several different sources. Understanding where hip pain starts is the first step toward finding the right sol

Osteoarthritis is commonly known as "wear and tear" arthritis. It is the most common form of arthritis, especially among older adults. Osteoarthritis occurs when cartilage is damaged. Cartilage is the connective tissue that covers the ends of the bones within your joints. Symptoms of Osteoarthritis Pain that gets worse when bearing weight or moving the joint Inflammation Popping or clicking sounds when moving Weakness in the joint Stiffness in the joint that impacts movement
