After Knee Replacement Surgery, You'll Enjoy Activities Again Without Knee Pain


When nonsurgical treatments cannot resolve knee problems, joint replacement surgery — also called arthroplasty — may offer relief. At the Beaufort Memorial Joint Replacement Center, board-certified orthopedic surgeons replace injured or worn joints with artificial partial or total joints that can restore mobility and alleviate pain.

Minimally invasive surgery is the preferred surgical approach, which, in most cases, exposes less of the joint, reduces post-operative pain, and speeds recovery. The Joint Replacement Center provides several advanced replacement options, including:

  • Mako Robotic Arm-Assisted Knee Replacement, which uses the robotic arm to precisely execute the surgical plans and place the knee implant, leading to better function and more natural movement
  • Vanguard Knee Replacement with Signature Personalized Patient Care, which customizes surgery to the patient’s unique anatomy
  • Oxford Partial Knee, which replaces only the worn-out areas of the knee and spares any healthy bone and cartilage
