Knee

Knee replacement surgery has had a profound effect on the quality of life in patients with advanced arthritis. Due to the long-term success of this type of procedure, patients are able to undergo surgery and return to an active lifestyle and the activities they enjoy. Rezin Orthopedics and Sports Medicine patients typically undergo a program of conservative treatments such as bracing and physical therapy before considering surgical treatment options.

The orthopedic surgeons at Rezin Orthopedics and Sports Medicine have extensive training and experience with primary and revision joint replacement surgery of the knee and diseases or injuries affecting the lower extremity. Our physicians are dedicated to continuing medical education and focused on learning about the newest developments such as minimally invasive techniques and alternative bearing surfaces and providing the most up-to-date procedures for our patients.

Frequently treated problems include:

• Osteoarthritis
• Birth deformity of the hip or knee
• Painful joint replacements
• Arthritis following an injury
• Hip or knee pain of unknown causes
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Failed joint replacements
