The Journey Knee is a first-of-its-kind knee replacement that combines the stability and natural motion of the human knee with new low-friction materials. The result is a long lasting, strong, and natural feeling implant.

Traditional knee implants have an unnatural, hinge-like motion that puts increased strain on the muscles and ligaments supporting the knee. This can lead to increased joint pain, muscle fatigue and an unnatural feeling when walking or bending the knee. The Journey knee, on the other hand, is the only knee implant designed to reproduce the original motion of the human knee. The Journey Knee Implant accomplishes this by reproducing the stability provided by the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), which are crucial to maintaining stability of the knee joint.

Another key benefit of the Journey Knee is that it can be implanted using minimally invasive surgical techniques.  Minimally invasive surgical techniques allow for less cutting of tissue and a smaller incision.  The result is less pain and a faster recovery time versus a larger incision.  Dr. Ferro is part of a select group of surgeons in the country trained in the minimally invasive Journey Knee Implant.  Contact our office to find out if you may be a candidate.

Dr. Ferro is the most personable doctor I've ever come across. He takes the time to really listen. He made me feel so comfortable that I felt like I could ask him anything. He recommended a ceramic hip replacement that was done in October of 2005. The result has been such a relief that I don't even remember the pain - it's been just incredible!
