Jacksonville residents looking for advanced orthopaedic care have a new option. Optimotion Orthopaedics, founded in Orlando, has opened its doors on the First Coast — bringing with it a reputation as a leader in ambulatory total joint replacement, lateral approach total knee replacement and anterior robotic hip replacement.
The practice’s physicians have received specialized training not only in orthopaedic surgery, but also in sub-specialty areas of orthopaedic medicine. That means patients dealing with even the most complex orthopaedic conditions can expect expert care — backed by a full support team of physician assistants, medical assistants, X-ray technicians and administrative staff.
Lateral approach total knee replacement: A smarter path to recovery
For patients facing knee replacement surgery, Optimotion Orthopaedics offers a procedure that takes a different — and potentially less painful — approach.
The lateral approach total knee replacement uses proprietary techniques to place the same clinically proven implants used in standard surgery, but through an incision designed to avoid trauma to the quadriceps muscle. It also spares the medial ligament — something traditional knee replacement surgery doesn’t always do.
The result? Significantly less pain. By protecting the muscles and tendons that are typically cut during standard total knee replacement surgery, this approach aims to get patients back on their feet faster and more comfortably.
Anterior approach to hip replacement: Less invasive, faster recovery
Hip replacement patients at Optimotion Orthopaedics may also benefit from a forward-thinking surgical option.
The anterior approach to hip replacement is minimally invasive and designed to spare major muscles and ligaments during surgery. Compared to traditional hip replacement methods, patients can expect less pain, reduced blood loss and less scarring.
Perhaps most appealing to active patients: fewer post-operative restrictions and a faster road to recovery.
