The Side Approach to Total Knee Replacement by Dr. Messieh

Our program is often results in the majority of patients going home in 2 days or less!
?????Our patients report pain levels < 2 on a scale of 0 to 10 at the time of discharge from the hospital
?????Our patients walk more than 100ft before they go home from the hospital!
?????The majority of our patients are just using a cane 1 week after surgery!
Few orthopedic surgeons are trained in this procedure.
