Find Relief from Knee Pain, Stiffness & Immobility at Jupiter Medical Center

If your stiff, painful, achy knees that make it difficult to perform even the simplest of activities, and if and other treatments are no longer working, considering consulting the orthopedic experts at The Anderson Family Orthopedic & Spine Center of Excellence.

Leading providers of partial and total knee replacements for patients throughout Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast, the Anderson Family Center’s expert orthopedic surgeons specialize in revolutionary and minimally invasive surgical techniques and implants to ease knee pain.

One of Jupiter’s innovative technologies is the Mako SmartRobotics™ Surgery system for partial and total knee resurfacing and replacement. The combination of Mako imaging technology and robotic surgical equipment creates a unique-to-you, anatomic 3-D computer model of your knee, allowing your surgeon to increase the preciseness of bone resurfacing and fit of an artificial knee implant in real time during your asurgery.

Thanks to the Jupiter team’s skills and expertise at traditional and Mako knee repair and replacement, you can enjoy improved quality of life and an enjoyable return to everyday activities and pain-free movement. Learn more about traditional knee replacement surgery at the Jupiter Health Library.

Experience the Jupiter Medical Center Team Approach to Pain Relief & Recovery

As a knee patient at Jupiter Medical Center, you’ll encounter some of the most comprehensive orthopedic care in Florida:

  • Support from an entire orthopedic team that includes surgeons, pain management specialists, anesthesiologists, nurses and therapist
  • A dedicated orthopedic and spine patient navigator to guide you through the process with education and support
  • A range of treatment options, including medications, injections, physical therapy or other types of surgery
  • Pre- and post-surgery strengthening and rehabilitation, including a preoperative educational class that prepares you for surgery and provides invaluable information for your recovery

Are You a Candidate for Knee Surgery?

Surgery is recommended for many reasons including:

  • Severe knee pain or stiffness that limits everyday activities, including, walking, climbing stairs, and getting in and out of chairs
  • Walking more than a few blocks without significant pain and/or the need to use a cane or walker
  • Moderate or severe knee pain while resting, either day or night
  • Chronic knee inflammation and swelling that does not improve with rest or medications
  • Knee deformity, such as a knee that bows out or in
  • Failure to respond to other treatments (e.g., anti-inflammatory medications, cortisone injections, lubricating injections, physical therapy, other surgery)

Most total knee replacements involve patients ages 50-80, but surgery decisions are based primarily on your level of pain and disability. Total knee replacements have been performed successfully at all ages, from teens with juvenile arthritis to the elderly patient with degenerative arthritis.

Each patient is evaluated individually. You and your surgeon will decide when the time is right for knee surgery.

  • A knee replacement procedure includes:
  • Preparing the bone - The damaged cartilage surfaces at the ends of the femur and tibia are removed along with a small amount of underlying bone.
  • Positioning metal implants - The cartilage and bone that is removed is replaced with metal components that recreate the surface of the joint. These metal parts may be cemented or "press-fit" into the bone.
  • Resurfacing the patella - The undersurface of the patella (kneecap) is cut and resurfaced with a plastic button. Some surgeons do not resurface the patella, depending upon the case.
  • Inserting a spacer - A medical-grade plastic spacer is inserted between the metal components, creating a smooth gliding surface.
  • Surgery is recommended for many reasons including:
  • Severe knee pain or stiffness that limits everyday activities, including, walking, climbing stairs, and getting in and out of chairs
  • Walking more than a few blocks without significant pain and the need to use a cane or walker
  • Moderate or severe knee pain while resting, either day or night
  • Chronic knee inflammation and swelling that does not improve with rest or medications
  • Knee deformity - a bowing in or out of the knee
  • Failure to substantially improve with other treatments such as anti-inflammatory medications, cortisone injections, lubricating injections, physical therapy, or other surgery

There are no absolute age or weight restrictions for total knee replacement surgery. Recommendations for surgery are based on patients' pain and disability, not their age. The majority of total knee replacements are in patients' ages 50 to 80, but each patient is evaluated individually. Total knee replacements have been performed successfully at all ages, from the young teenager with juvenile arthritis to the elderly patient with degenerative arthritis.
