At Andrews Sports Medicine, our specialists are committed to helping patients preserve their native knee joint whenever possible. Through advanced diagnostic evaluations and individualized treatment plans, we offer comprehensive care for knee arthritis and other degenerative knee conditions affecting active adults of all ages.

Many patients are surprised to learn that knee replacement surgery isn’t always the first—or the only—treatment option.

Regardless of where you are in your journey, our physicians will take the time to understand your goals and develop a treatment plan tailored to your lifestyle, activity level and expectations.

You don’t have to stop doing what you love because of knee pain. We’re here to help you move better, feel better and continue living an active life.

ROBOTIC-ASSISTED KNEE REPLACEMENT SPECIALISTS

Personalized Knee Replacement Surgery Designed to Restore Mobility, Relieve Pain and Help You Return to the Activities You Love

When chronic knee pain begins to limit your quality of life, even the simplest activities can become difficult. Walking the dog, climbing stairs, traveling, playing golf or simply enjoying time with family shouldn’t be accompanied by pain.

For patients whose symptoms can no longer be effectively managed with non-surgical treatments, knee replacement surgery may offer the opportunity to regain mobility, restore function and return to an active lifestyle.

At Andrews Sports Medicine, our fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeons specialize in advanced partial and total knee replacement procedures utilizing the latest robotic-assisted technology.

We understand that no two patients—and no two knees—are exactly alike. That’s why every treatment plan is personalized to each patient’s anatomy, activity level and goals for recovery.

Andrews Sports Medicine was the first orthopaedic practice in Birmingham, Alabama, to offer robotic-arm assisted total knee, partial knee and total hip replacement utilizing Mako SmartRobotics™ technology. This highly advanced technology allows surgeons to create a personalized surgical plan based on each patient’s unique anatomy while providing greater precision during surgery.

Robotic-assisted knee replacement offers several potential benefits, including:

• Personalized Surgical Planning
• Greater Precision During Implant Placement
• Improved Joint Alignment and Balance
• Preservation of Healthy Bone and Soft Tissue When Appropriate
• Reduced Postoperative Pain for Some Patients
• Improved Function and Range of Motion
• Faster Recovery for Many Patients
• Earlier Return to Daily Activities

Our joint replacement specialists have helped thousands of patients overcome knee pain and safely return to the activities they enjoy most. Whether your goal is walking without pain, returning to the golf course or simply keeping up with an active lifestyle, our team is committed to helping you achieve the best possible outcome.

Knee replacement surgery isn’t about slowing down—it’s about getting back to living life on your terms. We’re here to help you take the next step toward Victory Over Injury®.
