Minimally Invasive Alternative to Metal Joints
Minimally Invasive Biologic Joint Replacement encompasses our biologic rather than artificial solutions to arthritic joints, and is designed to help people in avoiding knee replacement. In the knee an arthritic joint has lost the articular cartilage bearing surface of the joint, often lost a portion of the meniscus cartilage, the fibrous shock absorber, and may have lost one or more of the ligaments, and may be losing the alignment (becoming bowed or knock kneed). Our program begins with physical therapy to correct gait and muscle imbalances and proceeds to an outpatient surgical center where the tissues are replaced or stimulated to re-grow.
