Everyone knows that an active life is a happy, healthy, and well-lived life. Here in Florida, we have opportunities every day to experience many of life’s greatest pleasures: a walk on the beach, a bicycle ride, or a relaxing swim.
If you are among the growing number of people who are suffering from the pain of growth-plate damage or other chronic hip, knee, and shoulder problems, please take comfort in knowing that you will find the solution here.
Dr. Andrew Hayden and Dr. J. Richard Rhodes of UF Health Orthopedics and Sports Medicine at Halifax Health | UF Health - Medical Center of Deltona are the only physicians in the area offering the innovative lateral total knee replacement surgery. This procedure is transforming orthopedic care by significantly reducing recovery time and enhancing patient outcomes.
Traditional knee replacement surgery typically involves an incision through the front of the knee, affecting the quadriceps tendon, a critical muscle group for mobility. The lateral total knee replacement, performed exclusively by Dr. Hayden and Dr. Rhodes, utilizes an alternative approach by accessing the knee from the side. This method avoids cutting through major muscle groups and tendons, preserving the integrity of essential structures around the joint.
