What is quadriceps-sparing knee replacement?
It is an approach to total knee replacement that avoids cutting the quadriceps muscle in the front of the thigh. Dr. Silverstein uses this technique with the goal of supporting earlier muscle function and a more comfortable early recovery. Your results and recovery timeline depend on your health, condition and rehabilitation.
Does Dr. Silverstein use a tourniquet?
Dr. Silverstein's knee-replacement approach avoids the use of a tourniquet. He combines this approach with personalized pain-management strategies and rehabilitation to support recovery. He will explain the surgical plan and what it means for you at your consultation.
Will Dr. Silverstein personally perform my surgery?
Yes. His practice profile states that Dr. Silverstein personally performs the knee-replacement procedure. Your consultation is an opportunity to discuss the surgical process and the team involved in your care.
Can I go home on the day of surgery?
