A Better Knee Replacement Starts with Precision, Preservation of Anatomy, Pain Mitigation — and a Surgeon Who Puts You First

In this video you will see the results between Muscle-Tendon Sparing Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery versus Tendon cutting, non-robotic surgery in the same patient who previously had more invasive knee replacement surgery with another surgeon.

You may have seen ads touting approaches that promise faster recovery with flashy names and catchy slogans. But when it comes to something as important as your knee, real results come from proven techniques, skilled hands, and personalized care — not gimmicks.

At our practice, we combine robotic-assisted precision with muscle- and tendon-sparing techniques to help patients:
✔️ Experience less pain
✔️ Heal faster
✔️ Enjoy a knee that feels more natural

But cutting-edge technology means little without the right surgeon behind it. That’s why our patients receive direct, hands-on care from highly trained, experienced orthopedic surgeons — every step of the way.

We provide a concierge-level experience for every patient, including:

Unrushed, personalized visits

Tailored surgical planning

A care team that treats you like family

Long-term support, not just short-term promises

No shortcuts. No gimmicks. Just thoughtful, expert care designed around your life.

💪🏼 From Hopeless to Walking Again: A Story of Strength, Surgery, and Fourth Chances

Revision knee replacement isn’t just another surgery—it’s one of the most technically challenging operations in all of orthopedics. And when the extensor mechanism (the structure that helps you straighten your leg and walk) is also damaged, it becomes an even steeper mountain to climb.

But here's what we want you to know: even the most complex cases can get better.

Recently, we cared for a patient who hadn't walked in over a year. He had undergone multiple knee surgeries by several surgeons before coming to us. His knee was painful, unstable, and weak. Most daunting of all—his extensor mechanism had failed. He couldn’t stand without assistance, he could not walk and his hope was dwindling. He had lost his ability simply just to leave his house.

But we saw something different. We saw possibility.

With careful planning, a full revision knee arthroplasty was performed of the femoral, tibial and patellar components—including reconstruction of the extensor mechanism using Marlex Mesh grafting. The procedure was complex, and technically demanding—but so is recovery. And that’s where this patient truly shined.

🌟 Today, he is walking with a walker
🌟 He is able to stand on his own.
🌟 He is getting stronger every week.

His story is a reminder that even after months—sometimes years—of setbacks, it’s still possible to turn the corner. If you’ve been told there are no more options, if you’ve been living in pain and wondering if your life can ever feel normal again—please don’t give up.

There is hope.

And sometimes, it just takes the right team, the right plan, and the courage to try one more time.

At the Evangelista Orthopedic Clinic, we often get asked: Does the location of the skin incision in total knee replacement affect recovery or pain?

Great question — and here’s what the research says:

Multiple studies have shown no significant difference in postoperative pain or functional outcomes between a midline skin incision and a medial skin incision for total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

✍️ In a landmark study by Krackow et al. (J Arthroplasty, 1995), outcomes such as pain, function, and complication rates were statistically identical regardless of whether the incision was made midline or slightly medial. [PMID: 7655497]

✍️ Swanson et al. (J Arthroplasty, 2000) reinforced these findings, stating: "Skin incision placement had no measurable effect on pain relief or functional outcome postoperatively." [DOI: 10.1054/arth.2000.7835]

Even concerns about nerve irritation from different incision angles were addressed by Watson et al. (Clin Orthop Relat Res, 2015), who found no correlation between incision location and persistent pain symptoms. [DOI: 10.1007/s11999-014-3831-7]

✅ Conclusion: When it comes to your knee replacement, the location of the incision isn’t what drives your recovery. What matters more are modern surgical techniques such as muscle and tendon sparing surgeries, robotic assistance, pain management protocols, and a personalized rehab plan.

Come in and let's discuss how we can best help you get your knee arthritis treated!

🦴🔧 Yes, Even Complex Hip Revisions Can Be Done Through a Minimally Invasive Approach

At Evangelista Orthopedic Clinic, we’re proud to offer a cutting-edge solution for patients who need a revision hip replacement—using the direct anterior approach, even for complex, previously operated hips.

Traditionally, revision total hip arthroplasty is a highly invasive surgery requiring large incisions and significant disruption of muscle and soft tissue. But with modern techniques and robotic-assisted technology, many challenging revision hip surgeries can be performed through a minimally invasive, muscle-sparing, direct anterior approach.

What Makes Our Approach Unique?
🔹 Direct anterior access allows us to avoid cutting major muscles
🔹 Robotic precision helps restore optimal implant positioning and leg length
🔹 Less pain and faster recovery even in revision cases
🔹 Smaller incision, fewer complications, and reduced risk of dislocation
🔹 Improved early mobility and return to function

Revision surgery doesn't have to mean going backward. Whether you're dealing with a loose implant, instability, or lingering pain from a prior hip replacement, we offer solutions that prioritize function, precision, and your quality of life.

Watch Father Zachary tell his story about revision hip replacement surgery utilizing a direct anterior, minimally invasive approach.
