Total Knee Replacement

The procedure replaces worn cartilage surfaces with durable implants designed to eliminate pain and restore smooth, balanced motion.

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.

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.

Before surgery, detailed imaging and alignment analysis ensure each knee replacement is tailored to the patient’s anatomy, ligament balance, and activity goals.

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

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.

To relieve pain, restore reliable mobility, and provide a strong foundation for long-term activity.
