BREVARD COUNTY • MELBOURNE, FLORIDA – First Choice Medical Group’s Dr. Kenneth Sands is is now among only a handful of physicians in the nation – and the only surgeon in Florida – trained and certified to perform a revolutionary new total knee replacement that preserves the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
In a traditional total knee replacement, a surgeon has to remove the ACL to get a new knee implant into place – even when the ACL is still healthy or uninjured.
However, utilizing this new ACL-sparing technology pioneered by Smith & Nephew, Dr. Sands is able to save this important ligament, helping a patient’s post-surgical knee feel and move more like the original, natural knee.
“I believe that as many as 70 percent of all my patients requiring total knee replacements will benefit from this exciting, new surgical treatment that preserves as much of the natural knee as possible,” said Dr. Sands.
“In addition to historically faster recoveries, studies have shown that this surgical solution can allow for greater stability and flexibility of the knee joint and potentially improved durability of the implant; and increases a patient’s ability to perform complex movements, such as those required for tennis, skiing, dancing, golfing and hiking. Most importantly, it feels more like a real knee.”

Last weekend, Dr. Sands delivered a lecture on the technology and led instructional surgical labs for physicians in attendance at the Regional Recon Hip and Knee Professional Education Seminar hosted by Smith and Nephew in Nashville, Tennessee.
“This is game-changing technology for the Orthopaedic industry,” said Dr. Sands.
“I feel very privileged to have been chosen to be on the leading edge of its industry adoption. In time, there is no doubt in my mind that ACL-sparing total knee replacement will become the preferred standard of care for knee replacements in all active adults.”
Board Certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery, Dr. Sands is a member of the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgery. He specializes in minimally invasive total hip replacement surgery, total hip resurfacing, direct anterior total hip replacement surgery, computer assisted total joint replacement, and the Oxford unicompartmental knee replacement surgery.
