Minimally Invasive Knee Replacement

Specialized training and instrumentation enable Dr. Foran to perform traditional knee replacement surgery in a minimally invasive manner.  By using smaller incisions he is able to complete the surgery without cutting tendons or ligaments, and with less disruption to the soft tissues. This, too, allows patients to typically recover quicker.

Each year, our surgeons perform hundreds of joint replacements, honing their skills to perfection. Whether it’s a standard knee replacement or a complex revision, our team has the experience and proficiency to make sure you get the best outcome possible.

Mako: Robotic Approach to Joint Replacement

Dr. Thomas, Dr. Lehman, Dr. Wente, and Dr. Gold are all certified in the use of Mako Robotic technology. The Mako System is a robotic-arm-assisted technology that allows surgeons to precisely pre-plan joint replacement surgeries according to each patient’s unique anatomy. With the Mako System, CT (computed tomography) scans are taken of the joint and combined with the Mako technology which helps the surgeon place and measure the joint before ever beginning surgery. In a joint replacement surgery, the Mako System helps guide the surgeon but always allows for the surgeon to use his or her expert judgment to change the plan during surgery.
