To ensure the highest level of precision and optimal outcomes for our patients, we utilize advanced technology during knee replacement surgeries:

• Computer Navigation: This technology provides real-time, three-dimensional images of the knee joint, allowing for precise alignment and positioning of the knee implant.
• Ortho-Align System: This innovative navigation system enhances the accuracy of implant placement, ensuring better long-term function and reducing the risk of complications.
• Also available: Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement (VELYS™) for personalized alignment and balance.

Knee replacement surgery involves removing damaged cartilage and bone from the knee joint and replacing it with artificial components to restore function and relieve pain. There are two main types of knee replacement surgeries we offer:

• Primary Total Knee Replacement: This procedure involves replacing the entire knee joint, which is typically recommended for patients with severe arthritis or extensive joint damage.
• Unicompartmental Knee Replacement: Also known as partial knee replacement, this procedure involves replacing only the damaged compartment of the knee, preserving as much of the natural knee structure as possible.

• Pain Relief: Significant reduction in knee pain, allowing you to perform daily activities without discomfort.
• Improved Mobility: Enhanced joint function, enabling you to return to your favorite activities, such as walking, biking, and playing sports.
• Long-Term Outcomes: Advanced navigation technologies ensure precise implant placement, leading to better long-term function and durability.

1. Initial Consultation: During your first visit, Dr. Jenter will assess your condition, discuss your symptoms, and determine if knee replacement surgery is the right option for you.
2. Preoperative Planning: We use advanced imaging and navigation technologies to plan your surgery with precision.
3. Surgery: On the day of surgery, Dr. Jenter performs the procedure using computer navigation and the Ortho-Align system to ensure optimal results.
4. Recovery and Rehabilitation: After surgery, our team will guide you through a personalized rehabilitation program to support your recovery and help you return to your favorite activities.

Dr. Jenter primarily works with patients over the age of 40, as they are prime candidates for total joint replacements. However, younger patients may be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine the best course of treatment.
