Independence, MO based Greiner Orthopedics is pleased to announce that Dr. Robert Greiner will be leading a round of seminars on knee pain and knee replacement surgery in Blue Springs, MO. Dr. Greiner is an orthopedic surgeon at Greiner Orthopedics who specializes in knee replacement surgery. The seminars are sponsored by St. Mary’s Medical Center and are intended for Kansas City orthopedic surgeons who wish to give their patients the best chance of a full recovery via the most modern techniques and expertise available. More details regarding the seminars’ schedule can be found on the orthopedic center’s website.
According to Greiner Orthopedics, traditional methods of partial replacement work by placing cutting blocks (or guides), “on the thigh bone (femur) and shin bone (tibia) to help direct a surgical saw in removing the diseased bone and cartilage.” This method has been considered technically challenging, as accurately placing these blocks with accuracy is a difficult and involved process.
Fortunately, a new, more accurate method exists that can address these issues and give more patients a higher chance of successful outcomes for their surgeries: the Navio System. Attendees will learn more about the NAVIO Robotics-assisted Surgical System, which is offered at Greiner Orthopedics for patients with severe osteoarthritis that causes serious pain and issues with movement. Utilizing this highly advanced approach to knee surgery, a skilled surgeon can work in conjunction with the Navio system to place a knee implant with incredible precision that takes each patient’s unique anatomy into account. As such, patients will potentially experience benefits in improved function and tactile feedback. Furthermore, should they respond well to surgery as intended, their replacement may show improved longevity as well. Learn more here: Navio Knee Replacement.
“Through an advanced computer program, the NAVIO system provides robotic assistance that relays precise information about your knee to a robotics-assisted handpiece used by our surgeons during the procedure,” explains Greiner Orthopedics. “By collecting patient-specific data, boundaries are established for the handpiece so we can remove the damaged surfaces of your knee, balance your joint and position the implant with greater precision.” The system includes advanced instrumentation that is designed to supplement bone resurfacing with the surgeon-detailed plan as well as a robotics-assisted handpiece that can enable access through smaller incisions. Overall, computer assistance is provided that ensures both consistent and accurate results.
Led by Dr. Greiner, the team at Greiner Orthopedics takes a full-body approach to patient care. Dr. Greiner is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon (from the American Osteopathic Board of Orthopedic Surgery) who earned his medical degree at the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences College of Osteopathic Medicine. Along with knee replacement surgery, he specializes in the treatment of musculoskeletal, bone and joint issues, with a focus on sports injuries, joint replacement, arthritis management, and trauma and fracture management. He ranks among the best knee replacement surgeons in Kansas City.
Notably, the clinic itself boasts highly positive ratings on multiple platforms. In a 5-Star Google review, for instance, Debbie Lockhart says, “Dr Greiner is the very best, I will only go to him for my care. I’ve been seeing him since 2014. His office staff are very friendly. Can’t say enough good things about any of my experiences with him or the staff.”
Similarly, Vickie Kimmel says, “I can’t say enough positive things about Dr. Greiner and his office staff. Dr. Greiner is very knowledgeable, takes time with his patients and listens to patient concerns. One of the things that I personally appreciate is the fact that Dr. Greiner tells me what needs to be done, how it needs to be done and what I need to do to heal properly. I appreciate that the office staff are friendly and helpful every time I visit or phone the office. I am not left waiting long for my scheduled appointments. This office is so upbeat. I will not go anywhere else for orthopedic needs. I definitely recommend Greiner Orthopedics!”
