“We are excited to offer the minimally invasive Lateral Approach technique to Tampa Bay patients because it allows them to potentially start walking the same day after surgery,” said Dr. Steve Nguyen, Founder of Optimotion Implants. “The recovery is generally quicker with less initial pain and less damage to soft tissue, often yielding superior functional outcomes than the traditional anterior approach.”  

Optimotion was built on the idea that a knee replacement does not have to put life on hold. The Optimotion Implants (OI) Blue Total Knee System is designed for younger, active patients who want to get back on their feet faster. Optimotion’s patent-pending instruments are catered toward the minimally invasive Lateral Approach to total knee replacement. This approach can be performed at outpatient surgery centers, sending patients home the same day.
