Answers to the most common questions about hip and knee replacement — surgical approach, recovery, robotic-assisted surgery, and what to expect at your consultation. A practical starting point for patients evaluating hip and knee joint replacement with Dr. Calendine in Middle Tennessee.
Dr. Calendine performs total hip replacement using the anterior approach — a muscle-sparing technique that preserves the gluteal muscles, eliminates traditional hip precautions, and helps most patients walk the day of surgery. Learn about the procedure, recovery, and candidacy
Total knee replacement resurfaces damaged cartilage and bone with precision-engineered components to restore painfree movement. Dr. Calendine combines the muscle-sparing subvastus technique with Mako® robotic-assisted precision for faster quad recovery. Learn more about the procedure.
The subvastus approach accesses the knee joint beneath the quadriceps muscle instead of cutting through it, leaving the entire extensor mechanism intact. Patients benefit from faster quad activation, reduced early pain, and earlier independence during your first weeks of recovery.
Mako® robotic-assisted hip and knee replacement surgery uses CT-based 3D modeling of your unique joint anatomy to guide implant placement with sub-millimeter precision. Dr. Calendine is one of the highest-volume Mako surgeons in Middle Tennessee and a Stryker consultant on the robotic platform
