Minimally Invasive
Knee Replacement

The procedure involves smaller incisions and refined surgical techniques to reduce tissue disruption, postoperative pain, and recovery time. By preserving more of the surrounding muscles and structures, patients typically experience faster mobility, shorter hospital stays, and a smoother return to daily activities compared to traditional knee replacement approaches.

Outpatient
Hip Replacement

The surgery allows patients to go home the same day using minimally invasive techniques and advanced anesthesia. With less tissue disruption, improved pain control, and early mobility, recovery is faster and more comfortable. This modern approach offers safe, efficient hip replacement without an overnight hospital stay for eligible patients.
