Exciting News for Patients!

I am thrilled to announce that we are now offering a quad/muscle sparing (subvastus) approach for robotic assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA)!

This surgical technique is designed to provide patients with an easier and smoother recovery and builds upon already proven outcomes for our robotic assisted total knee replacements.

Here’s why the quad/muscle sparing approach stands out compared to traditional methods like the medial parapatellar approach:

✅ Less Invasive: Avoids cutting through the quadriceps muscle, preserving its strength and function.

✅ Easier Recovery: Reduced pain and quicker return to mobility.

✅ Improved Stability: Maintains muscle function and knee alignment for more natural movement.

✅ Minimized Scarring: In conjunction with robotic assistance, the procedure can be performed through a smaller incision with less disruption to surrounding tissues.

I am committed to bringing patients the best in orthopedic care, and this approach aligns perfectly with my goal of helping patients move better, faster, and pain-free!

If you’re considering a knee replacement or have questions about how this approach could benefit you, feel free to reach out to us. Your mobility and quality of life are our priorities!

Proud to offer robotic total joint arthroplasty - anterior hip, total knee, partial knee - to upstate South Carolina.

There’s no reason anyone should assume they’ll have to live with knee or hip pain for the rest of their lives, according to Dr. Hunter Hsu. Total joint replacement surgeries bring significant benefits to hundreds of thousands of people annually. We perform them here at AnMed with the precision of leading robotic technology. That makes for easier recovery and better results.

As a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon specializing in hip and knee replacement, I am specially trained in a wide variety of skills to help my patients get back to doing the things they love to do.

Fellowship training provided additional experience in the latest technical skills and technology in joint replacement. This includes muscle-sparing direct anterior total hip arthroplasty, robotic total hip arthroplasty, robotic total knee and partial knee arthroplasty, and same-day joint replacement surgery. I am proud to be able to offer the latest in joint replacement technology right here at AnMed.

If you or someone you know is or has been dealing with persistent knee pain, please consider attending this seminar to learn about treatment options!

Our joints are used in almost every activity that we take part in, which is why joint pain can have such an impact on our daily activities. There are many contributing factors for joint pain such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and post-traumatic arthritis.

On June 23rd, 2021 at 6 p.m., Dr. Hunter Hsu, with AnMed Health Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine, will discuss knee joint pain, treatment options and knee replacement surgery during a seminar to be held at the Anderson Area YMCA on East Reed Rd in Anderson, SC. Join us to learn about your options in alleviating your knee joint pain.

Each and every knee is different, so why treat them all the same?

As a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon specifically trained on robotic knee replacement, I am able to create a personalized surgical plan which is specific to each patient. This takes into account each patient’s bone structure, disease severity, joint alignment, surrounding bone and tissue to determine the optimal size, placement and alignment of the implant. Throughout the procedure, the robot provides real-time data which allows continuous assessment of the movement and tension of the knee joint and if necessary, real-time implant adjustments. This allows for the ability to place the implant in the best possible position for each individual knee in order to achieve a well-balanced and stable knee.

Hip replacement surgery is one of the most successful orthopedic procedures we perform. As a fellowship-trained hip and knee replacement specialist, I am proud to bring anterior total hip replacement to Anderson, SC.

This procedure provides certain advantages compared to traditional hip replacement surgery. This approach allows the surgeon to work in between the muscles rather than cutting or detaching muscles from the bone which ultimately leads to less damage to the major muscles. This typically results in less post-operative pain and can lead to a faster recovery. Because of this muscle-sparing approach, it can be completed in a minimally-invasive manner, oftentimes through an incision that is 5-7 cm (2-2.5 in) in length.

Perhaps the most exciting aspect of modern hip replacement is the increasing use of robotic surgery.
