"I’ve had a torn meniscus repaired by Dr. Ferkel & my left knee replaced by Dr Hernandez. Both were excellent orthopedic surgeons and I had excellent results. I don’t mind waiting; some patients need a little more time and I appreciate the time & attention they give to their patients. PS. I had no pain after either surgery & couldn’t be happier with their care."

CORI

Robotics-assisted knee surgery with Smith+Nephew implants can deliver the ultimate knee replacement experience – a quicker, smoother recovery.

The earliest knee replacement procedures were performed in 1968 and relied on manual guides and procedures to remove damaged bone and place the implant within the joint.  Over time, more advanced implant techniques were introduced that used long metal alignment rods inserted into the center of the thigh bone (femur). These rods, which help determine the correct anatomic alignment between the knee and hip, provide an attachment point for positioning the surgical cutting guides. Once the bone cuts are made, the surgeon must remove these rods before the new implant can be positioned. More recently, pre-surgery improvements like computerized tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance images (MRIs) are now used to help create computer-generated surgical plans for each patient.

The ultimate knee replacement experience

Robotic-assisted surgery helps combine the advantages of traditional methods with innovations while minimizing the drawbacks to patients. This advanced technology is designed to help the surgeon plan and perform your knee replacement surgery with a greater degree of accuracy than is possible with traditional methods.

JOURNEY II

For orthopaedic surgeons seeking treatment solutions beyond traditional knee replacements, JOURNEY II Active Knee Solutions has been engineered to empower patients with a renewed right to an active lifestyle by breaking through traditional knee replacement barriers and delivering Function, Motion, and Durability through Physiological Mathcing.

Recent advances in biomedical engineering software have opened a new chapter on high performance knee implants.

One remarkable breakthrough has been the creation of the JOURNEY II BCS knee, a second-generation knee replacement that combines the stability and natural motion of the human knee with new low-friction materials that may extend the life of the implant.

While the lifespan of a knee implant is heavily influenced by the materials used to make it, the natural feeling of the implant during physical activity is dependent upon the way the patient’s muscles, ligaments and tendons are addressed during surgery and by the implant’s shape within the body after surgery.

POLAR3

One of the most exciting hip replacement options on the market today is the POLAR3 Total Hip Solution. Although we call it a single solution, it is actually made up of three proprietary technologies that, when combined, can deliver extraordinary results that are designed to improve surgical outcomes and maximize patient satisfaction. 

The POLAR3 System is a total hip solution, meaning that it includes a hip stem, a hip head and an acetabular cup. Together, these three components are designed to replace the ball and socket structure of your natural hip.

Total hip replacement is considered one of the most clinically successful procedures in modern medicine. Despite that success, a recent meta-analysis showed that almost 1 in every 10 hip patients are still not satisfied with their hip prostheses.19 With excellent registry data for POLARSTEM™, R3™, and VERILAST™ Technology in registries around the world, the POLAR3 Total Hip Solution has outcomes that outperform.
