Greenlaw Hip and Knee

General Practitioners

Arthritis
Not all patients with severe arthritis of the knee have to undergo total knee replacement surgery when non-surgical measures have failed to provide quality of life. For select patients partial (uni) knee replacement is a wonderful option to consider instead of total knee replacement.

MRI
Custom total knee instrumentation using Visionaire and Signature systems for partial and total knee replacements using pre-op MRI or CT imaging to fit the knee replacement parts as perfectly as possible for each individual patient

Orthopedics
Arthroscopy
Hip arthroscopy for early arthritis, impingement, labral tears, and acetabuloplasty to reshape ball and socket joints to alleviate pain and hopefully slow down arthritis progression
Joint Replacement
Dr Greenlaw has a very busy practice, commonly performing more than a dozen joint replacement surgeries per week, making him one of the busiest joint replacement surgeons in private practice in the Carolinas. He still manages to maintain a very active teaching role both nationally and internationally, having given lectures and presentations on joint replacement surgery in over 30 cities in the U.S. as well as international locations including Europe.
Orthopedic Surgery
Fortunately, risks and complications of partial knee replacement in my experienced hands are less than 1% for almost everything combined. There are some risks relevant to any orthopedic surgery involving bones, joints, and implants made of metal and plastic.

Hip Replacement
"He did my hip replacement when i was 61...I cut grass 2 weeks later..daughter had video of me doing one and a half off high dive at westridge pool exactly 1 month to the day after surgery...He is the best!!!" - Boyd Shaw
Knee Replacement
"Having knee replacement was the best decision I have made in my life. I have no pain, can do things I couldn't do before and am amazed at the recovery." - Anita Proctor
Knee Arthroscopy

Plastic Surgeons

Plastic Surgery
The surgery involves an incision about 3 inches long starting at the top of the kneecap on the inside extending down in a straight line toward the ankle. Once the joint is opened, the very inside portion of the knee is prepared removing 4-5 mm of bone from the end of the thigh bone and top of the lower leg bone. Metal caps, custom fit to the anatomy of the patient, are then cemented to the bone. Recreating the cushion, a plastic spacer, available in different thicknesses and sizes is inserted between the metal caps. This allows the knee to be “balanced” so the knee has full range of motion and stability to simulate what the knee worked like prior to arthritis setting in. Once the components are inserted, the knee is “rock solid” allowing full weight bearing immediately after surgery, as much as comfort allows. The closure is with a plastic surgery (sub-cuticular) that eliminates the need for staples, clips, or sutures through the skin that have to be removed later. This closure minimizes the pain frequently felt when the skin is pulled and stretched with staples in the skin. This closure also allows patients to use minimal bandages at home and be able to shower very early after surgery.
