Don’t Let Knee Pain Keep You on the Sidelines This Summer

Summer in South Louisiana is meant to be enjoyed — from family vacations and outdoor festivals to golfing, fishing, kayaking, and long walks along the lakefront. But for many adults struggling with chronic knee pain, even simple activities can become difficult and uncomfortable.

If knee arthritis or ongoing joint pain is limiting your mobility, it may be time to consider a more advanced solution. At Metairie Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, we offer Mako Robotic-Assisted Knee Surgery to help patients return to the active lifestyle they enjoy with greater comfort, precision, and confidence.

When Knee Pain Starts Affecting Everyday Life

Many patients wait years before seeking treatment for chronic knee pain. What starts as occasional stiffness can gradually turn into persistent discomfort that affects:

• ✔ Walking long distances
• ✔ Climbing stairs
• ✔ Exercise and fitness routines
• ✔ Travel and vacations
• ✔ Outdoor recreation and sports
• ✔ Daily activities around the home

During the summer months especially, many people realize how much knee pain is preventing them from participating in the activities they enjoy most.

If conservative treatments such as physical therapy, injections, medications, or bracing are no longer providing relief, knee replacement surgery may be the next step toward restoring mobility and improving quality of life.

What Is Mako Robotic-Assisted Knee Surgery?

Mako Robotic-Assisted Knee Surgery is an advanced surgical technology designed to improve the precision and personalization of knee replacement procedures.

Using detailed 3D imaging, the Mako system allows orthopedic surgeons to create a customized surgical plan based on each patient’s unique anatomy. During surgery, robotic guidance helps ensure accurate implant placement and alignment while allowing the surgeon to remain in complete control throughout the procedure.

At Metairie Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, Dr. Robert Douglas Bostick III and Dr. Ryan Charles Roubion use Mako technology for both partial and total knee replacements.

• ✔ Greater Precision: Robotic-assisted technology allows for highly accurate implant positioning tailored to your anatomy.
• ✔ Improved Joint Function: Proper alignment may help improve knee movement, stability, and overall function after surgery.
• ✔ Less Postoperative Discomfort: Many patients experience reduced pain and soft tissue disruption compared to traditional techniques.

• ✔ Long-Term Durability: Precise implant placement may improve the longevity and performance of the knee replacement over time.
