Virtua Joint Replacement Institute

If knee or hip pain is slowing you down, you don’t have to give up your active lifestyle. Did you know the fastest growing age group for joint replacements is patients between ages 45 to 55? Advancements in minimally invasive surgery are a big reason why.

We use what’s called the quad-sparing technique for total knee replacement, which eliminates the need to cut the quadriceps tendon.

A leader in minimally invasive, same-day total knee replacements, the Virtua Joint Replacement Institute is one of the few hospitals in the country to offer this revolutionary procedure.

Virtua also offers robotic arm-assisted surgery for partial knee and hip replacements. Here’s how it works:

1. Before your surgery
   It all begins with a CT scan of your joint that is used to generate a 3D virtual model of your unique anatomy. This virtual model is used to create your personalized preoperative plan.
   
   
2. During your surgery
   In the operating room, your surgeon will use the technology to assist in performing your surgery based on your personalized preoperative plan. The technology enables your surgeon to make adjustments to your plan during surgery as needed. The surgeon prepares the bone for the implant. The robotic technology guides the surgeon within the pre-defined area and helps prevent the surgeon form moving outside of the planned boundaries. 

The result: An accurate and precise alignment of your artificial joint.
