Knee pain doesn’t just slow you down; it can keep you from living the life you love. NanoKnee™ offers minimally invasive knee surgery, delivering faster healing and unmatched mobility. Here’s what to know.
Initial Consultation and Pre-Op Preparation
At NanoKnee™, your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. Our board-certified surgeons evaluate your knee, review imaging, and discuss your lifestyle goals.
Once you decide to move forward, you’ll complete a personalized pre-op plan that prepares your body for the best possible recovery. This may include:
- Advanced CT scans to create your custom 3D surgical model
- A review of medications and overall health to ensure safety
- Guidance on nutrition, supplements, and pre-surgery conditioning
- Instructions for preparing your home for the smoothest return after surgery
Our team handles every detail, so you walk into surgery confident and fully prepared. Everything is engineered for precision and performance, setting the stage for the life-changing results NanoKnee™ is known for.
What Happens During Minimally Invasive Knee Surgery?
Your outpatient procedure uses twilight anesthesia and regional blocks instead of general anesthesia. This means less risk, fewer side effects, and faster recovery.
Unlike traditional surgery, which may involve cutting muscle, NanoKnee’s minimally invasive technique:
- Uses smaller incisions with cosmetic closure to minimize scarring
- Preserves healthy bone and ligaments for more natural movement
- Balances soft tissues with extreme precision to prevent stiffness or instability
- Restores your knee’s natural alignment
In about 90 minutes, your damaged joint is resurfaced and replaced with a precision-fitted implant designed to restore natural motion and strength.
The NanoKnee™ Difference: Recovery in Hours, Not Months
At NanoKnee™, recovery begins the moment your procedure ends. Our minimally invasive technique, paired with precision-engineered implants, allows patients to stand within minutes of surgery and return home in just a couple of hours.
From there, progress builds quickly. With self-guided therapy supported by our NanoKnee™ app, most patients are:
- Resuming light activity in 7–14 days
- Returning to moderate exercise in 2–4 weeks
- Back to a full, active lifestyle in 4–8 weeks
With over 12,600 successful procedures, our team has redefined what’s possible after knee replacement.
Keep Your New Knee Strong Through Movement
Staying active is the key to protecting your joint for the long term and maintaining peak performance. We suggest:
- Walking and cycling: Great for improving circulation, building stamina, and reinforcing natural gait patterns without stressing the joint.
- Water-based exercise: Swimming or water aerobics offer resistance training while the buoyancy minimizes impact, making them ideal both early in recovery and for ongoing fitness.
- Yoga and tai chi: Low-impact practices that enhance flexibility, balance, and joint stability, while also reducing stiffness and supporting overall wellness.
- Strength training for legs and core: Targeted movements like bridges, squats, and resistance work strengthen surrounding muscles, reducing strain on the implant.
- Low-impact recreational sports: Activities such as golf or doubles tennis keep you active, flexible, and engaged in the sports you love without overloading your new knee.
