What you’re seeing is the planning phase of a robotic-assisted total knee replacement using the Stryker Mako system.

This screen shows a 3D model of the patient’s femur and tibia, created from a preoperative CT scan. The blue areas represent the planned placement of the implants, while the green lines help guide alignment and ensure proper orientation relative to the patient’s anatomy.

👉🏼Using this technology, the surgeon can make highly customized adjustments before any bone is cut—optimizing component position, balance, and joint mechanics.

The robotic arm then assists in executing these cuts with sub-millimeter accuracy, enhancing precision, preserving bone, and often improving recovery outcomes. 🎯

The meniscus is a key piece of cartilage that cushions your knee joint. A tear can happen from trauma or degeneration—and it’s one of the most common knee injuries we see.🦵🏼 Swipe left to learn more!

This young patient sustained a hip fracture that went untreated for nearly two years — a missed injury that never healed.

Without access to healthcare or insurance, he never went to the ER. He relied on crutches and kept working, unknowingly walking on a broken hip. Over time, the unhealed fracture led to severe cartilage breakdown and joint collapse — he was essentially left without a functioning hip.

To restore joint function, a porous, press-fit acetabular shell is implanted to recreate the socket and provide stable fixation for the new femoral head.

PRP uses components of your own blood to promote healing in damaged tissues, such as the knee. 🦵🏽 It can help treat osteoarthritis, tendon injuries and ligament injuries.

👉🏼The process is very simple:

1. You get your blood drawn.
2. The collected blood is placed in a centrifuge, which spins at high speeds to separate the blood components.
3. The blood separates into three layers. The top layer is the PRP.
4. The PRP gets injected into the knee joint.

Why PRP? It helps promote healing by increasing blood flow, reducing inflammation, and stimulating tissue repair. ✔️

Degeneration in the knee is a common issue, especially as people age or in those who have sustained injuries. 🦵🏽

The meniscus is a crescent-shaped 🌙 piece of cartilage located between the femur (thigh bone) and the tibia (shin bone). It acts as a shock absorber, distributing weight and reducing friction during movement.

The cartilage on your knee is a smooth, white tissue that covers the ends of bones where they come together to form joints. It helps bones to glide over each other with minimal friction and absorbs shock from movement.

Some preventative measures to help slow the progression of degeneration are:

👉🏼Maintaining a healthy weight
👉🏼Staying active
👉🏼Avoiding excessive strain on the knees

Using the CT scan data of the patient, the Mako system creates a precise 3D virtual model of the knee that details the specific bone structure, alignment, and any deformities. 🦵🏽

This advanced software allows for precise adjustments to the implant positioning, making sure that the fit is perfect for the patient’s anatomy. 🎯

My Story

At age 17, I underwent the first of 8 surgeries that would be performed on my knee. When I was 21, I was told that I would never be able to run or jump again without significant disability. I left that surgeons office in tears and was emotionally devastated. By the time I was 27, I was told my knee was close to “bone on Bone” and that I needed more surgery. I was driven to search, find, and try anything that worked. My extensive research in non-surgical Regenerative Medicine gave me access to the most advanced and modern treatments. Some failed and some succeeded. By personally experiencing the trials and tribulations of these treatments, I truly have first-hand experience on what works and what doesn’t. Exploring treatments like Stem Cells, PRP, Hyaluronic Acid injections, acupuncture, chiropractic, holistic, etc… I learned that surgery is NOT always the only answer. That through a multi-modal approach, including both traditional and non-traditional methods, I can tackle tough chronic conditions like Osteoarthritis and associated chronic injuries. I am now in my forties and have never been healthier. I’m an avid hiker, biker, and mountaineer. I set high goals for myself and my patients and I am very confident that through my multi-modal approach we can achieve anything.
