He performs arthroscopic knee surgery and treats meniscus tears and cartilage injuries.Dr. Buechel has been performing Partial Knee Replacements as an outpatient, with Mako robotic assistance for precision planning and implant installation since 2009. His partial knee technique uses a muscle sparing mini incision, an advanced cosmetic skin closure, immediate full weight bearing, a rapid recovery protocol, no tourniquets, and a multi-modal approach to anesthesia for optimal safety and comfort during and after the procedure.Using the Mako Robotic Total Knee Replacement System, Dr. Buechel fixes painful knees that have advanced arthritis or osteonecrosis that is not treatable with a partial knee replacement alone.
