Dr. Matthew Harb specializes in minimally invasive, muscle sparing, hip and knee replacement surgery. Minimally invasive surgery allows patients to recover faster and have less pain post operatively. Implants are tailored and custom fit to each patient to allow for improved performance. Dr. Harb’s expertise in rapid recovery protocols allow for quick recovery after surgery and excellent outcomes in patients with hip and knee arthritis. With minimally invasive, muscle sparing surgery patients can return to their lifestyles and get back to doing the things they love sooner. Dr. Harb performs outpatient joint replacement surgery with many of his patients walking independently and going home the day of surgery.

I just had a knee replacement. Post op is no joke. The key to recovery is physical therapy..

Had a total replacement 10 years ago it was brutal but so worth it my wife is a nurse and made me do extra PT glad she did

Had complex knee surgery - prosthetic contaminated so developed abscess.several ops to clear it _- didn’t work. Removed prosthetic & replaced with cement. Leg Strapped & no bend for 12 months.
Required revision surgery to replace with complex prosthetic. Tib & Fib had to be shortened. Knee works well but grinding noises when bending/straightening.
Now needing other knee sorted - but waiting until discomfort too bad! Hopefully this time the op will be straightforward!!
Overall I estimate 10 bouts of surgery to get it right!!

I just had my right knee done and it is no JOKE

[saritataylor]

I so do not want to have any joint replacements. What a horror.

[reginapatchimutu]

Had surgery on my both knees left knee 2022 another 2023 very very painful😢

[MsZombieality]

I'm allergic to chloraprep. It's horrible! Luckily I most likely just had my last surgery. Hopefully I'm on the road to getting my life back.

[missalys]

It’s the opposite. i remembered it was chloraprep prep used for shell fish allergies because the name starts with a C and shellfish live in the Sea and that is how I remember that it is ok to use for shellfish allergies. And you can see that DuraPrep contains iodine which contains shellfish.

[barbarahorton]

Had both done, so gruesome. Worst pain I've ever had for recovery.

[missalys]

It is an orthopedic helmet. We get ours from styler. You are probably referring to the CAPR isolation suits.

Some of you are also sort of correct in the comments. These orthopedic helmets are used typically in total joint replacements because if the patient were to contract a surgical sight infection in their joint…let’s just say there is no recovering from that..so the total PPE from head to toe lessons that chance. It allows the surgical team to achieve a wider sterile range on their field. I hope that helps!

Oh and I’m a Certified Surgical Technologist :)

[arjunpatel]

Is that a side leg bump? Only have one assist?

[peacehoneyhaze]

I feel like more people should see these "behind the scenes".

Educational, interesting and useful. ❤

[tomlovinggood]

Avoid a Total Knee replacement at all costs. It is a horrific surgical procedure.

[pablozurita]

I maybe will have to need this because of a botched surgery >-<

[Londresijenwlyfinkeshesc-tybk]

I never had a broken bone or surgery but I still think that every one that has had one or two off those two is stronger then me😅

[heartedmind]

I cant believe how scary it might be. If you messed up, you messed up the kife of a whole person.

[JoanneAnderson-zvdq]

That happened to my knee too. Very painful. PT is a must for healing.

[davidreali]

U able to film whole surgery some in youtube r crazy

[piscitellinicholas]

After the surgery the doctor will tell you take some time off you'll be just fine

I hope they got a consent for this video from the patient. This would be a major violation of patient confidentiality otherwise.
