Enhanced Knee Replacement

You’re ready to put knee pain behind you, but how? Nonsurgical treatments, such as physical therapy and injections, may do the trick. But if those treatments don’t work, knee replacement surgery can help you rediscover your active self. At Beaufort Memorial, we offer partial and total knee replacements using some of the most advanced technologies in the Lowcountry. Our surgeons specialize in techniques that lead to less pain after surgery and allow for a faster recovery. In fact, some patients can have their surgery and return home, where they can recover in comfort, on the same day.

Our surgeons can tailor their surgical plan and choice of implants to your one-of-a-kind anatomy so your new knee will better mimic your natural joint. That’s care that puts you at the center. Request an appointment today to discuss your options.

Mako SmartRobotics™

This advanced system employs 3D technology to create a model of your knee that orthopedic surgeons use to create a personalized joint replacement. During the procedure, surgeons use robotic equipment to place the new joint precisely through small incisions. As a result, you heal faster and get back to life more quickly.

VELYS™ Robotic-Assisted Solution

This technology helps assess joint balance through the full range of motion to plan optimal implant position and execute precise surgeon-controlled cuts.

Oxford® Partial Knee

In partial knee replacement, only worn-out areas of the knee are replaced, leaving healthy bone and cartilage intact. The Oxford implant is the most widely used and clinically proven partial knee implant in the world. It’s a great alternative to total knee replacement for people whose pain or arthritis is confined to just one spot on the knee.

Persona® The Personalized Knee 

Persona implants are designed to match your existing knee joint. Our surgeons create a custom-designed artificial joint using MRI imagery and ultra-precise digital measurements. They then place the joint in the optimal location based on your unique anatomy, providing a more natural feeling of movement.
