When knee pain keeps you from doing what you love, like walking, working, exercising, or simply enjoying your day, it’s time to consider real solutions. Knee replacement surgery is a widely performed and highly successful procedure designed to restore comfort and mobility in people with advanced arthritis or knee damage. Whether you're struggling with pain during daily activities or stiffness that limits your motion, knee replacement can help you regain control of your life.
Dr. Collin Haben specializes in knee replacement procedures with a focus on precision and patient outcomes. Fellowship-trained in minimally invasive hip and knee replacement, Dr. Haben uses the latest techniques, including ARVIS™ augmented reality surgical guidance and EMPOWR™ implants by

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the recovery after knee replacement?
Recovery varies, but most patients begin moving the same day as surgery. You’ll work with a physical therapist to regain strength and range of motion. Most people return to daily activities within 6 to 12 weeks, though full recovery can take a few months, depending on your health and goals.
Am I a candidate for a partial knee replacement?
If only one part of your knee (such as the inner, outer, or kneecap area) is affected by arthritis, you may be eligible for a partial knee replacement, also called a unicompartmental knee replacement. This option preserves more of your natural joint and typically leads to faster recovery and less pain than total knee replacement.
What is the subvastus approach in knee replacement?
The subvastus approach is a muscle-sparing technique that can be used during some knee replacement surgeries. Instead of cutting through the quadriceps tendon, the surgeon accesses the knee joint by working underneath the vastus medialis muscle. This can lead to less pain, quicker recovery, and improved early function.
Dr. Haben is subvastus-trained, and when appropriate, uses this minimally invasive method to help patients return to their daily activities faster.
How long do knee implants typically last?
The EMPOWR implants used by Dr. Haben feature advanced materials (such as Vitamin E-blended polyethylene), which help reduce long-term wear by up to 92%.3 This can significantly extend the life of the implant and reduce the likelihood of needing revision surgery later.
What does it mean to be fellowship-trained in joint replacement?
Being fellowship-trained means Dr. Haben completed an additional year of focused training beyond residency, specifically in hip and knee replacement surgery. This advanced education allows him to perform specialized techniques with greater precision, confidence, and attention to patient outcomes.
