Patti says it best with that smile. Just hours after having BOTH knees replaced (partial knee replacements), she was already up and walking around.

With today’s surgical techniques and anesthesia, recovery is faster and more efficient than ever.

Myth: Joint replacement means giving up all sports.

Fact: Many patients return to activities like swimming, cycling, tennis, hiking, skiing, surfing, golf, and more. Every recovery is different, but for many people, joint replacement helps them get back to the activities they enjoy.

Ever wondered how robotic replacement surgery works?

Robotic-assisted joint replacement uses advanced technology to help improve precision. During the procedure, damaged bone and cartilage are removed and replaced with an artificial joint, just like in traditional surgery, but with the assistance of a robotic arm that helps guide the process with incredible accuracy.

More from David’s recovery.

This footage was taken just a few hours after his second hip replacement surgery we did right before Christmas.

David works in construction management, so getting back on his feet quickly matters. After a strong recovery from his first hip replacement, he chose to move forward with his second side shortly after.

Here he is already up and walking the same day. Every recovery looks a little different, but seeing patients regain movement this quickly is always exciting.

The Yuengling Shamrock Marathon Weekend is right around the corner in Virginia Beach.

Every year, I see patients training hard to cross that finish line, whether it’s their first 8K or their tenth full marathon. If you’re dealing with hip or knee pain while preparing, don’t ignore it. Some soreness is normal with training. Persistent joint pain isn’t.

My goal is simple: keep you moving safely, not just for race day, but for the long run. Good luck to everyone running this year. Train smart, listen to your body, and I’ll see you at the finish line.

Within the last 6 years, Christine has had both hips and both knees replaced with us.

Today? She’s skiing in Vail. ⛷️ (She raced as a kid and she’s back out there doing what she loves.) Check out this video her husband took of her.

If joint pain is holding you back, it may be time to start the conversation. Learn more about hip and knee replacement at gonduskymd.com and schedule your consultation.

A new year is the perfect time to rethink what joint replacement recovery can look like.

Today’s hip and knee replacements don’t rely on heavy opioid medications. With modern surgical techniques, targeted injections, and thoughtful pain management plans, almost all patients are walking, climbing stairs, and heading home the same day.

Less medication. Fewer side effects. A smoother recovery. If joint pain held you back last year, 2026 could be the year you move forward more comfortably.
