Summary
- Frederick Buechel Jr MD is the Director of Robotic Assisted Knee Surgery at Lenox Hill Hospital, and Lenox Health Greenwich Village, and the Founder of the Robotic Joint Center.
He is an Assistant Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell.
He is a Board Certified Orthopaedic Surgeon, Fellowship Trained in Joint Reconstruction from the University of Pennsylvania.
Dr. Buechel is an internationally renowned expert in Partial Knee Replacement & Total Knee Replacement using the Mako Robotic System, and has performed over 2,000 Mako™ Robotic Partial Knee procedures on the medial and lateral sides, in the USA and internationally.
Dr. Buechel has performed Mako™ Robotic knee & hip procedures in the USA, Asia, Australia, and Europe and has trained more than a thousand surgeons on Mako™ Robotic surgery.
Dr. Buechel's partial knees are outpatient, Mako™ Robotic assisted, mini-incision and tourniquet free. His minimally invasive surgical techniques help people with painful knees get back to their active lifestyles rapidly, and with less discomfort than traditional Partial Knee Replacement.
His attention to every detail and deep understanding of the Robotic System’s capabilities, makes him a sought-after surgeon by patients wanting the best outcomes for their knees.
Dr. Buechel’s global experience operating on patients from around the world, along with his involvement in the development of the Mako™ system over the years, allows him to successfully perform these revolutionary procedures on “straightforward” cases, and “difficult advanced pathologic” cases with great precision, providing a high level of satisfaction for his patients.
Young adults living with arthritic pain from a prior knee injury or failed meniscus surgery, middle-aged and older adults struggling with the effects of time and wear on their knee joint surfaces, all can benefit from his vast international Knee Surgery experience.
