From Surgery to Santiago!
In 2021, Edward had both knees replaced by Dr. Karas. This summer, he walked 86 miles of the Camino de Santiago — over the Pyrenees and across Spain — something he had dreamed of for over 10 years.

After training for months and walking 10–15 miles a day with ease, Edward completed his pilgrimage and qualified for the Compostela certificate.

His advice to others living with arthritis:

“Go for the surgery. You’ll be happier.” 💙

We’re so proud to be a small part of this amazing journey. Buen Camino, Edward! 🥾🌄🇪🇸

Partial vs. Total Knee Replacement: Finding your Perfect Fit
If your pain is isolated to one area, a partial knee replacement delivers:

🔹 Focused pain relief (only the damaged area is treated)
🔹 Natural joint preservation (healthy bone & ligaments stay intact)
🔹 Less downtime and faster return to activities
For widespread joint damage, a total knee replacement provides:

🔹 Complete joint resurfacing (all three compartments)
🔹 Maximum pain relief & stability
🔹 Robotic-assisted precision for optimal implant fit
The Key Difference?
→ Partial keeps more natural knee structure → quicker return to life
→ Total provides comprehensive renewal → ideal for widespread damage
Both options get you back to what you love – we’ll help choose what’s right for you. Call 312-432-2598 for a consultation.

Joint Replacement by the Numbers 🦵🦴📊
In 2024 alone, there were 1,899,847 total knee replacements and 1,204,324 total hip replacements performed in the U.S., according to the American Joint Replacement Registry.
Knees and hips take the lead as the most common joint replacement surgeries — and thanks to minimally invasive techniques, patients are recovering faster, with less pain and smaller incisions.
It’s not just about replacing joints — it’s about restoring lives.

In August 2023, this amazing patient underwent a right total knee replacement — and just sent us photos climbing the 267 tilted steps of the Leaning Tower of Pisa (and back down, too)!
Pain-free, stronger, and back to doing what they love.
We’re so proud to be a part of this journey. 💪🇮🇹
