Why Choose MasterFit™ Knee with Rapid Restore™?
The MasterFit™ Difference

- Less pain after surgery
- A faster return to walking and daily activities
- Improved overall function and recovery

Understanding Knee Arthritis
The exact cause of knee arthritis isn’t fully known, but several factors can increase your risk of developing it, including:
- Previous injury or trauma
- Fractures around the joint
- Increased body weight
- Repetitive overuse
- Joint infection or inflammation
- Connective tissue disorders
How is it Diagnosed?
Your doctor will diagnose osteoarthritis based on your medical history, a physical examination, and X-rays. X-rays often show a narrowing of the joint space in the affected knee.
The Goal of Surgery
The purpose of knee replacement is simple: to relieve pain and restore your knee’s function and alignment.
What Does Recovery Look Like?
Recovery begins right away. A physical therapist will guide you through safe exercises to strengthen your leg and improve motion.
- Walking aids such as crutches or a walker may be used at first
- A home exercise program will help restore muscle strength
Most patients return to daily activities much sooner than with traditional methods
