Total Knee Replacement

Advanced knee replacement procedures

3D printed technology

Knee replacement, or knee arthroplasty, is typically recommended for individuals suffering from degenerative joint diseases such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or post-traumatic arthritis, which cause severe pain, stiffness, and loss of mobility. These conditions result from the deterioration of cartilage that cushions the bones of the knee, leading to painful bone-on-bone contact.

Our approach incorporates 3D-printed patient-specific instruments (PSI), 3D anatomical mapping, augmented reality, and the kinematic alignment (KA) surgical technique. These technologies allow us to tailor each surgery to the individual’s unique anatomy, ensuring optimal implant alignment and the restoration of natural knee motion. By using 3D imaging to accurately map the knee joint, we create customised instruments that enhance the precision and effectiveness of the procedure.

Mr Freedman employs computer-assisted and augmented reality technologies during surgery to provide real-time feedback, which help to achieve optimal placement of the knee implants according to kinematic alignment principles. This personalised approach aligns the knee naturally and improves joint biomechanics, reducing postoperative discomfort and accelerating recovery.

The benefits of a total knee replacement

The advanced technologies and techniques used in our knee replacement procedures have a range of benefits:
  • Tailored Fit for Optimal Function: Our 3D-printed patient-specific instruments and detailed anatomical mapping help achieve precise alignment with your unique anatomy, promoting better joint function and longevity.

  • Advanced Kinematic Alignment: Our kinematic alignment technique aligns the artificial joint to mimic your knee’s natural motion, reducing wear and enhancing comfort, allowing a more active lifestyle post-surgery.

  • Real-Time Precision: Using augmented reality technology during surgery for real-time feedback on implant positioning. This cutting-edge approach increases the accuracy of the procedure, minimises risks, and improves surgical outcomes.

  • Reduced Recovery Time: The precision and efficiency of our surgical techniques not only enhance the surgical outcome but also speed up the recovery process, allowing you to return to daily activities sooner.

  • Durable and Effective: The advanced materials used in our implants help achieve excellent durability and function.

Case Examples

Mr Freedman’s training & experience

An Internationally-trained and renowned Orthopaedic surgeon, Mr Freeman brings over a decade of experience to providing a meticulous standard of care.

The success of technically complicated surgery depends on several elements, but one important factor is having a highly-trained and experienced surgeon.

Mr Freedman completed a fellowship in the UK to train in hip arthroscopy with Professor Damian Griffin, a world-renowned expert in hip arthroscopy and hip preservation surgery.

While on fellowship in the UK, Mr Freedman’s supervisor, Professor Griffin, received an invitation to observe a new hip replacement technique in Paris with Dr. Frederic Laude, a world expert in Direct Anterior hip surgery. As fate would have it, other commitments prevented Prof. Griffin from attending, so he sent Mr Freedman in his place, and he was amazed by the innovative procedure, the minimal incision, and the quick recovery of patients. Mr Freedman later returned to Paris to complete a fellowship under Dr Frederic Laude.

Upon returning to Australia, Mr Freedman, successfully implemented anterior approach hip replacements in his practice, leading to rapid growth in his case numbers and the eventual standardisation of this technique, even for complex surgeries.

  • Internationally Trained and Recognised

    Mr Freedman has trained under some of the best hip surgeons in Europe.

  • Cutting-Edge Techniques

    Mr Freedman employs advanced technology and techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes for his patients.
