Dr. Richard Berger - Minimally Invasive Knee Replacement Surgery

During total knee surgery, Dr. Berger creates a small, 3- to 4-inch incision directly over the knee to reveal the end of the thigh bone, the top of the shin bone, and the back of the knee cap: the arthritic knee. This is the space where cartilage has been lost, causing the bone-on-bone contact that leads to the extreme arthritic pain patients experience. Dr. Berger begins by removing the arthritic bone on the bottom of the thigh bone, using special guides to help shape the bone so the prosthesis fits securely. He then removes bone from the top of the shin bone and the back of the knee cap. Dr. Berger then carefully removes any bone spurs or scar tissue that may have formed around the knee joint as a result of arthritis.
