About
Frederick Buechel
Dr. Frederick Buechel, Jr, MD is an Orthopaedic surgeon and expert in robotic assisted partial knee replacement and total knee replacement. He is the Director of Robotic Assisted Knee Surgery at Northwell Health s Lenox Hill Hospital and Lenox Health Greenwich Village in New York City. Dr. Buechel is a Visiting Professor at Taipei Medical University and China Medical University in Taichung, Taiwan.Dr. Buechel specializes in the surgical treatment of patients with knee pain, and he is one of the worlds most experienced clinical users of robotic assisted technology for partial knee replacement and total knee replacement. With the assistance of the Mako Robotic Knee System, Dr. Buechel performs outpatient, minimally invasive medial, lateral, and patellofemoral partial knee replacements, and total knee replacements. He performs arthroscopic knee surgery and treats meniscus tears and cartilage injuries.Dr. Buechel has been performing Partial Knee Replacements as an outpatient, with Mako robotic assistance for precision planning and implant installation since 2009. His partial knee technique uses a muscle sparing mini incision, an advanced cosmetic skin closure, immediate full weight bearing, a rapid recovery protocol, no tourniquets, and a multi-modal approach to anesthesia for optimal safety and comfort during and after the procedure.Using the Mako Robotic Total Knee Replacement System, Dr. Buechel fixes painful knees that have advanced arthritis or osteonecrosis that is not treatable with a partial knee replacement alone. The Mako system provides sophisticated knee replacement planning tools to optimize implant fit, knee alignment, and ligament balance. The Mako robotic arm is a bone preparation tool that allows for very precise positioning of the knee replacement implants on the bone surfaces, and increases safety. Dr. Buechel s total knee patients go home the same day, or after a one-night stay when medically indicated.Dr. Buechel began his career in Naples, Florida, where he was the chief of Orthopaedic surgery at the NCH Healthcare System and Physicians Regional Healthcare System.

He founded the Makoplasty International Destination and Training Center for patients and surgeons, and he has been part of the USA and international surgeon training team since 2010, while closely involved in the evolution and development of the system.Dr. Buechel works at Northwell Health s Lenox Hill Hospital and Lenox Health Greenwich Village in New York City as the Director of Robotic Assisted Knee Surgery and provides patients with painful knees, precision Mako Robotic Partial and Total Knee replacement.Services
