Total Knee Replacement
When arthritis affects all three compartments of the knee, everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, and standing may become painful and difficult. Total knee replacement is a reliable, long-term solution that restores comfort, mobility, and stability when nonsurgical care no longer provides relief.
Why Total Knee Replacement Helps
The procedure replaces worn cartilage surfaces with durable implants designed to eliminate pain and restore smooth, balanced motion.
Robotic and Computer Navigated Precision
For more than two decades, Dr. Pearle has used computer-assisted and robotic technologies in every knee procedure he performs.
This advanced system:
Maps the patient’s anatomy in real time
Guides implant alignment within millimeters
Helps achieve stable, natural movement
Improves long-term durability
Reduces the risk of revision surgery
Proper alignment is one of the strongest predictors of long-term success — navigation allows precise control over every detail.
How the Procedure Works
During surgery, the arthritic surfaces are resurfaced and replaced with implants positioned according to the personalized plan. The goal is to restore smooth, stable, natural-feeling motion that lasts for decades.
Personalized Surgical Planning
Before surgery, detailed imaging and alignment analysis ensure each knee replacement is tailored to the patient’s anatomy, ligament balance, and activity goals.
Recovery Expectations
Most patients walk the same day as surgery.<br>
Recovery focuses on:
Regaining motion
Building strength
Improving balance and gait
Returning to normal daily activity within weeks
Care at HSS
All procedures are performed at the Hospital for Special Surgery, which has the lowest infection rates in the country and is nationally recognized for orthopedic nursing, anesthesia, and patient outcomes.
The Goal
To relieve pain, restore reliable mobility, and provide a strong foundation for long-term activity.
