Specialized Orthopedic Care
Focused Expertise in Knee & Hip Conditions
Knee Pain & Knee Injuries
From arthritis to chronic knee pain and instability, we provide advanced procedures, including injections, knee replacements, and robotic-assisted surgeries, to help restore movement and improve quality of life. Our innovative lateral approach to knee replacements places the same clinically proven implants used in standard surgery, but through an incision that avoids trauma to the quadriceps muscle and spares the medial ligament. This approach dramatically reduces pain by sparing muscles and tendons that are cut during standard total knee replacement surgery.
Hip Pain & Joint Conditions
Hip pain and stiffness can affect every step you take. We provide advanced treatment options, including injections, hip replacements, and robotic-assisted surgeries, focused on improving mobility and reducing discomfort. Our direct anterior hip replacement is a minimally invasive hip surgery to replace the hip joint without cutting through any muscles or tendons. Traditional hip replacement involves cutting major muscles to access the hip joint.
Arthroscopic Surgery
Some injuries require arthroscopic surgery for repair. Our minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures may help support faster recovery times, smaller incisions, reduced downtime, and improved rehabilitation experiences.

Why choose Optimotion Orthopaedics for knee and hip care in Jacksonville?
Optimotion Orthopaedics, founded 20+ years ago by Dr. Steve Nguyen with locations in Central and Northeast Florida, is widely recognized as a regional leader in ambulatory total joint replacement, lateral approach total knee replacement and anterior robotic hip replacement. Our knee and hip doctors include highly trained orthopedic surgeons with specialized expertise in knee and hip replacement, joint reconstruction and arthroscopic surgery, as well as non-surgical treatment options for knee and hip conditions. This specialized expertise allows our physicians to provide individualized treatment based on each patient's condition, needs and goals.
Treatment for knee and hip pain depends on the cause, severity and impact on your mobility. Options may include activity modification, physical therapy, medications, injections and other non-surgical treatments. When more advanced treatment is needed, surgical options may include arthroscopic surgery, joint reconstruction, minimally invasive procedures and total knee or hip replacement. Optimotion develops an individualized treatment plan based on your condition, lifestyle and goals.
Knee or hip pain should be evaluated when it persists, worsens, limits mobility or begins interfering with work, exercise, sleep or everyday activities. An orthopedic knee or hip specialist can determine whether pain is caused by arthritis, cartilage damage, a meniscus or other soft-tissue injury, joint degeneration or another condition and recommend the appropriate treatment.
Depending on the condition, minimally invasive and arthroscopic procedures can be used to treat certain knee and hip injuries while reducing disruption to surrounding tissue. Arthroscopic knee surgery may be appropriate for conditions such as meniscus tears and cartilage damage, while other minimally invasive techniques can be used for joint repair and reconstruction. OptiMotion also specializes in advanced approaches to knee and hip replacement when joint damage requires more extensive treatment.
Knee or hip replacement may be considered when arthritis or joint damage causes persistent pain, stiffness and loss of mobility that no longer responds adequately to non-surgical treatment. OptiMotion's orthopedic surgeons specialize in advanced joint replacement techniques, including lateral approach total knee replacement and anterior robotic hip replacement, with the goal of relieving pain, restoring joint function and helping patients return to an active lifestyle.
A lateral knee replacement procedure involves the use of proprietary techniques to place the same clinically proven implants used in standard surgery, but through an incision that avoids any trauma to the quadriceps muscle and spares the medial ligament as well. This unique approach dramatically reduces pain by sparing muscles and tendons that historically have been cut during standard total knee replacement surgery.
A direct anterior hip replacement is a minimally invasive hip surgery to replace the hip joint without cutting through any muscles or tendons. Traditional hip replacement involves cutting major muscles to access the hip joint.
