Knee Replacement Surgery

Exceptional Surgical Techniques for Knee Replacement

When knee pain doesn’t respond to conservative measures like medication and physical therapy, knee replacement surgery is a reliable way to alleviate pain and allow patients to return to normal activities. In this surgery, injured or damaged parts of the joint are replaced with artificial parts made of metal, ceramic or plastic.

Knee replacement surgery is used to treat ongoing and severe knee pain and other knee problems such as stiffness, instability and deformity. These symptoms usually are the result of:

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Post-traumatic arthritis from an injury
  • Rheumatoid arthritis

At Loyola Medicine, you will benefit from a highly experienced orthopaedic surgical team, a multidisciplinary approach to care and advanced surgical procedures, including:

  • High tibial osteotomy
  • Knee revision surgery
  • Partial knee replacement
  • Patellar replacement
  • Total knee replacement

About 85 to 90 percent of knee replacement surgeries at Loyola are successful for 10 years or more.

If you are having joint replacement surgery, you may be a candidate for a revolutionary use of pain medication that helps manage pain following surgery. Orthopaedists work together with pain management specialists in the department of anesthesiology.

If eligible, you may receive a continual peripheral nerve block catheter in which a catheter is placed near the nerve responsible for pain in the upper or lower extremity.
