What is a subvastus knee surgery?

People who are chronically suffering from knee pain is not something you simply shrug your shoulders and ignore. It may be a symptom of a more serious condition that could render you lame for the rest of your life if not taken cared of right away.

For people with serious knee conditions, knee replacement surgery is the only solution to remedy their complaints. You can see them walking again after the surgical procedure although you will notice that people who have undergone such surgery oftentimes carry with them a scar that can be as long as a foot long.

This is the result of the incision made by the orthopedic surgeon to repair or replace the knee joint and eliminate the recurring knee pain patients are prone to suffer. Another downside of most knee replacement is the post operation recovery that includes long period of recovery and a very painful one.

All these are eliminated by a latest subvastus approach to knee replacement surgery that the Randolph Orthopedics and Sports Medicine are using to help their patients combat their knee pains.

The new approach to knee replacement surgery is highly recommended by Dr. Megan Swanson from the Randolph Orthopedics and Sports Medicine because she knows the benefits and ease of recovery that her patients will experience from the subvastus knee replacement surgery approach.    

If you want to have a more detailed explanation of how this knee replacement method works, it will be best to set an appointment with Dr. Swanson. She will willingly point out every pros and cons of this particular approach so you may decide together with her if it is the right treatment for you.
