Total Knee Replacement Surgery for Pain-Free Movement

Regain Your Freedom with Total Knee Replacement with

Total knee replacement surgery, also known as knee arthroplasty, is a procedure designed to replace the damaged or worn-out parts of your knee joint with durable prosthetics. This procedure targets individuals suffering from severe arthritis, degenerative joint conditions, or knee injuries that make everyday activities painful and restrictive.

At Torrez Orthopedics, Dr. Torrez uses advanced techniques to ensure that each knee replacement procedure is tailored to your unique needs and lifestyle goals. By replacing damaged cartilage and bone with a custom-fit prosthetic joint, the treatment restores smooth movement, reduces pain, and improves overall function.

Dr. Torrez uses the Enovis EMPOWR 3D Knee® System(opens in a new tab), the only dual-pivot knee implant designed to replicate the natural motion of your knee through all phases of movement^[1]. Its advanced kinematics mean the implant closely mimics your own joint, offering stability during early, mid, and deep flexion^[1].

• The system allows for a smooth, natural-feeling pivot like your healthy knee, helping you walk and climb stairs with less discomfort and greater confidence^[1].
• Many patients experience less pain with walking and are able to return to more active lifestyles—including sports and daily hobbies—thanks to this innovative approach^[2].

Backed by over 20 years of clinical research, the EMPOWR 3D Knee® System gives you reliable, data-driven results focused on comfort, durability, and restored quality of life^[3].

To further enhance your outcome, Dr. Torrez is proud to offer ARVIS®(opens in a new tab)(Augmented Reality Visualization and Information System) from Enovis for total knee replacement^[4]. ARVIS provides real-time, hands-free surgical guidance using advanced augmented reality technology:

• Worn as a lightweight headset by the surgeon, ARVIS projects precise navigation over the surgical field, allowing Dr. Torrez to achieve remarkable accuracy and alignment without ever needing to look away from you during surgery^[4].
• This system streamlines the procedure, avoids the clutter of traditional robotic equipment, and can help lead to better, more predictable results^[4].
