What Our Patients Say
“I am beyond grateful for this practice. My surgery for knee replacement was in July. Since then I’ve had the absolute most respect for the care and concern of this office. Just yesterday I was seen by Amy, nurse practitioner. Her genuine care and concern for my other knee went above and beyond. I would highly recommend for your orthopedic needs.” — Tracy M.
Knee replacement, or knee arthroplasty, is the most common joint replacement surgery performed. Knee arthritis affects millions of Americans and the number of patients needing a replacement is expected to continue to increase. However, not all replacements nor surgeons are the same. Learn why JIS surgeons are world-leaders in knee replacement surgery, and the experts you want taking care of your knee.
Partial knee replacement
The knee joint is thought of as having 3 distinct “compartments” that can develop arthritis: medial, lateral and patellofemoral. Just as a dentist doesn’t drill into a normal tooth next to one that has a cavity, you wouldn’t want a replacement on the normal part of your knee. A partial replacement allows treatment of arthritis in just the diseased area, letting you to keep the normal portions of the knee. A partial replacement allows for a faster recovery, a more “normal” feeling knee and lower surgical risk. JIS Orthopedics’ surgeons are national and global leaders in partial knee replacement surgery, and teach the certification courses that allow surgeons to perform this procedure.
Robotic-assisted total knee replacement
Technology is rapidly advancing in all aspects of our lives, and so too in joint replacement surgery. JIS has adopted robotic-assisted total knee replacement to allow precise placement of replacement components. This precision may aid in the longevity, as well as knee function.
