Knee Replacement
Our orthopedic specialists provide advanced surgical solutions to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve your quality of life—so you can get back to doing what matters most.
Relieve the Pain. Reclaim Your Stride.
Knee pain can turn everyday tasks into daily challenges—whether it’s walking to the mailbox, getting out of bed, or standing for more than a few minutes. If medications, injections, or physical therapy haven’t provided lasting relief, knee replacement surgery may be the next step toward restoring your comfort and independence.
At Holy Cross Health, our orthopedic specialists are experienced in advanced knee replacement procedures designed to reduce pain and improve mobility. We take the time to understand your unique needs and create a personalized treatment plan that supports your goals and lifestyle. From your first consultation through recovery, we’re here to help you move with confidence and get back to doing what you love.
When Should You Consider Knee Replacement?
If knee pain is interfering with your daily life, it may be time to explore surgical options. Many older adults consider knee replacement after months—or even years—of ongoing discomfort, stiffness, swelling, or limited movement. You might find it more difficult to climb stairs, kneel, or get in and out of a car without pain.
You don’t have to wait until the pain becomes unbearable. When nonsurgical treatments like medications or physical therapy stop working, our orthopedic specialists at Holy Cross Health are here to help. We’ll evaluate your condition, explain your options clearly, and guide you through whether knee replacement is the right step for you.
What to Expect from Knee Replacement Surgery
Knee replacement surgery is a safe and effective way to relieve chronic pain and restore mobility. During the procedure, the damaged surfaces of your knee joint are carefully removed and replaced with a smooth, artificial joint designed to move comfortably and naturally.
Depending on your condition, your surgeon may recommend either a total or partial knee replacement. At Holy Cross Health, we use the latest surgical techniques and advanced technology to ensure precision and minimize impact on surrounding tissue. This helps reduce pain, speed up healing, and support a faster return to your everyday activities.
Our team is here to guide you through the entire process—from preparation to recovery—so you can feel confident and supported every step of the way.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
Healing takes time—but with the right care and support, progress can come quickly. Shortly after surgery, you’ll begin working with our dedicated rehabilitation team to help you regain strength, improve flexibility, and restore your independence.
At Holy Cross Health, we understand the unique needs of aging adults during recovery. Your care team will be by your side every step of the way—answering questions, monitoring your progress, and helping you stay motivated as you work toward your goals. Our personalized approach ensures you have the tools and guidance you need to return to the activities you enjoy, safely and confidently.
