Two Computer Systems Improve Total Knee Replacement Surgery
New techniques and technologies have been developed, which include use of sophisticated computers and pressure sensors. These tools have vastly improved the consistency of achieving surgical goals by allowing us to recognize and correct subtleties in balancing the soft tissue sleeve and then optimize limb alignment.

2 Comments
My final blog in this series on biologic strategies for repairing joint damage focuses on leading edge treatments designed to stimulate the regeneration of new hyaline cartilage: Osteochondral Autograft Transplantation (OATS or Mosaicplasty), Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation, Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI) and Stem Cell and Tissue engineering.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP): A Biologic Solution – “Heal Thy Self”
When the arthritic process becomes so advanced in hip or knee joints that less-invasive and more conservative treatment options no longer are effective, surgery becomes necessary.
Radio Interview: Dr. Leone discusses how he finds solutions to complex hip and knee problems.

The Exeter Hip Stem – Still the Gold Standard in the Industry
The Exeter Hip Stem is thought by many to be the “industry gold standard” prosthetic stem for hip replacement. I have been implanting the Exeter Hip Stem in my patients since 1996 and the results continue to remain among the best in my practice.
The Verasense Knee System
Traditionally during total knee replacement (TKR), surgeons have had to balance the prosthetic knee by feeling the tension in the ligaments throughout the range of motion.
Robotic Assisted Partial Knee Replacement Surgery (Makoplasty)
A partial knee replacement (PKR) is a wonderful surgical option for patients who have pain or damage in only one compartment of the knee and have not responded to conservative treatment.
VERASENSE Sensor is a game changer for knee replacement surgery
Total knee replacement is one of the most successful surgeries to have been developed, helping thousands to walk again.
New Sensor Enhances Precision Balance During Total Knee Replacement
Multiple studies have reported that the percentage of patients who are completely satisfied after total knee replacement surgery is considerably less than with patients who have had a total hip replacement.
Computer Assisted Total Knee Replacement Surgery
In my previous blog, I discussed the need for Total knee replacement…
