Mayo Clinic's approach
Cutting-edge technology
Mayo Clinic surgeons can use a robotic arm in certain cases to help guide reshaping of bone for implant placement. This helps improve the balance in the knee's soft tissues and leads to better alignment and function. Innovative navigation techniques during surgery help procedures go more smoothly and quickly.
Collaboration
Mayo Clinic's knee replacement teams include specialists in orthopedic surgery, anesthesiology and perioperative medicine, and physical medicine and rehabilitation. These experts work together with the goal of easing pain and restoring function.
Compassion
Mayo Clinic combines innovation with compassion to provide exceptional care. The experts at Mayo know that pain management is a concern for anyone considering surgery. The surgical and anesthesia teams will make you as comfortable as possible during and after the procedure.
Expertise and rankings
Mayo Clinic's joint replacement database contains information on every joint replacement surgery performed at Mayo Clinic. The database helps Mayo Clinic doctors determine which surgical technique and prosthesis type will be the most effective for you.
