Knee replacement
Cartilage in your knee can become damaged from arthritis, injury or normal wear-and-tear. If you are experiencing chronic knee pain or limited function, you may benefit from a knee replacement surgery. During this procedure, an orthopedic surgeon will remove the affected cartilage and replace it with artificial pieces.

Our knee replacement program
When you're experiencing chronic knee pain, we prioritize nonsurgical treatments, such as walking supports, before recommending surgery.
Partial and total knee replacement surgery
Before recommending surgery, our orthopedic specialists consider the efficacy of nonsurgical treatments, such as medical weight-loss management, medications, walking supports, joint injections and supplements.
When surgery is determined to be the best next step, we offer both partial and total knee replacement surgical procedures. During partial knee replacement, the damaged bone and cartilage are replaced while keeping healthy tissue intact. Since it's a minimally invasive surgical technique, partial knee replacement allows you to heal faster.
If total knee replacement is a better option for you, our surgeons will replace parts of your injured knee joint with metal or plastic implants. After the post-surgery recovery period, you can return to participating in the activities you love.
You can access our inpatient rehabilitation services and outpatient rehabilitation program if you need extra care and support following surgery. We provide both occupational and physical therapy to help lessen your pain so you can return to your daily life faster.
