The 5 Core Pillars of Function First Knee™
Personalized Precision Alignment
Kinematic alignment combined with robotic assistance respects each patient's natural anatomy — delivering a knee that moves the way your body was designed to move.
Patella-Friendly Knee Design
Patella resurfacing and implant selection focused on front-knee comfort, better stair climbing, and confident sitting — because your kneecap matters.
Muscle & Tissue Sparing Surgery
The subvastus approach and no-tourniquet technique mean less muscle trauma, less thigh pain, less swelling and a faster early recovery — so you're walking the same day.
Enhanced Recovery Pathway
No epidural. No urinary catheter. dignity restored, Faster mobilisation, more comfort, and greater confidence from the moment you wake up.
Prehab to Rehab Philosophy
Strengthening muscles before surgery and structured rehabilitation after means a stronger body, smoother recovery, and a better long-term functional outcome.
