Advanced Surgical Techniques for Faster Recovery
Dr. Silverstein stays up to date with the latest practices, using advanced techniques designed to minimize discomfort and speed up recovery. His approach prioritizes both short-term healing and long-term success.
Quadriceps-Sparing Approach
One of the cutting-edge methods Dr. Silverstein uses is the quadriceps-sparing knee replacement approach. Unlike traditional techniques, this approach avoids cutting through the quadriceps muscle.
The benefits of a quadriceps-sparing approach include:
- Reduced risk of muscle rupture.
- Less invasive approach.
- Reduced post-operative pain.
- Faster regaining of natural knee movement.
This technique provides patients with a solid foundation for a smooth recovery and allows patients to start their recovery with less discomfort and an easier path to resuming daily activities.
Award-Winning Intraosseous Block
Pain management after surgery is crucial to having a comfortable and successful recovery. Dr. Silverstein uses an award-winning intraosseous block, a highly effective method for post-operative pain control. This advanced technique provides:
- Reduced risk of infection.
- Reduced risk of reliance on narcotic pain medications.
- Faster mobility and physical therapy progress.
- Greater comfort during the critical early recovery phase.
Dr. Silverstein is one of the only doctors to administer an intraosseous block prior to surgery. This technique has been awarded at international meetings for its ability to reduce the risk of infection and pain following surgery.
By implementing such innovative solutions, Dr. Silverstein ensures his patients experience a smooth and successful recovery.
