Knee pain can significantly impact your quality of life, limiting your mobility and daily activities. Dr. Abbas Naqvi and his team at Town Center Orthopedics are proud to offer minimally invasive knee replacement as a cutting-edge solution designed to help you regain your mobility and lead a pain-free life.
Our minimally invasive knee replacement technique is a muscle-sparing procedure that utilizes smaller incisions and avoids cutting through the quadriceps muscle compared to traditional knee replacement surgery. This approach minimizes the impact on your body, leading to several potential benefits:
This procedure is ideal for many patients, but it's essential to consult our minimally invasive knee replacement surgeons in Ashburn to determine if you're a good candidate. You may be a suitable candidate for this procedure if you:

During the knee replacement, your surgeon will make a smaller incision, usually about 3-4 inches long, compared to the 8-12 inches required for traditional surgery. Specialized instruments and techniques are used to carefully navigate around muscles and tendons, allowing the surgeon to remove the damaged bone and cartilage with minimal disruption. The knee joint is then replaced with a prosthetic implant designed to mimic the natural movement of the knee.
We also integrate state-of-the-art robotic technology in our procedures. Robotic knee replacement allows for enhanced precision in the placement and alignment of the knee implant. This precision is crucial for the longevity of the implant and the overall function of your knee post-surgery. By using robotic assistance, we can tailor the procedure to the intricacies of your unique anatomy, ensuring optimal outcomes.
Whether you’re suffering from degenerative knee diseases like osteoarthritis, or you’ve experienced a knee injury, our minimally invasive and robotic-assisted knee replacement services are here to restore your mobility and enhance your quality of life.
One of the primary advantages of our minimally invasive knee replacement in Ashburn is the expedited recovery process. Most patients can expect:
Your surgeon will provide a personalized recovery plan, including exercises and guidelines to ensure the best possible outcome.
Unlike traditional knee replacement, which requires a larger incision and more extensive tissue disruption, minimally invasive treatment for knee uses smaller incisions and avoids cutting through major muscles like the quadriceps. This leads to less pain, quicker recovery, and better muscle strength post-surgery.
You may be a candidate if you experience chronic knee pain that impacts your daily life, have not found relief from non-surgical treatments, and are in good overall health. A thorough evaluation by minimally invasive knee replacement surgeons in Ashburn will help determine if this procedure is right for you.
Benefits include reduced post-operative pain, faster recovery time, smaller scars, less muscle disruption, and a lower risk of complications compared to traditional knee replacement surgery.
Recovery time varies, but most patients can expect to return to daily activities within a few weeks. Full recovery, including regaining strength and mobility, typically takes about 3 to 6 months.
Yes, most patients report less post-operative pain due to the smaller incisions and reduced muscle disruption associated with this technique.
Most patients are discharged from the hospital within 1-2 days after surgery, although some may go home the same day depending on their recovery progress.
Physical therapy is crucial for regaining strength, flexibility, and mobility after surgery. It typically begins immediately after the procedure and continues for several weeks to ensure optimal recovery.
As with any surgery, there are risks, including infection, blood clots, and complications related to anesthesia. However, the risks are generally lower with minimally invasive techniques due to less tissue damage and quicker recovery times.
With proper care and activity modifications, a knee implant can last 15 to 20 years or longer. Advances in implant materials and surgical techniques have improved the longevity of knee replacements.
Yes, we offer robotic-assisted surgery, which enhances the precision of implant placement and alignment. This technology helps tailor the procedure to your unique anatomy, improving the longevity and function of the knee implant.
