Education is key for a successful replacement

Joint Replacement

If you suffer from restricted mobility or joint pain you may be a candidate for joint replacement surgery. Osteoarthritis is the most common cause of joint pain. Osteoarthritis is a type of arthritis caused by the breakdown and eventual loss of cartilage of one or more joints. This causes the bones to grind against one another causing pain, inflammation, and restricted movement.

Replacing a joint can relieve pain and help you move and feel better. An orthopedic surgeon can evaluate your condition and discuss the different treatment options available to you. If you’ve tried other treatment options and the pain you are experiencing is still severely restricting your ability to walk or perform simple activities, you may want to consider joint replacement surgery.

Services

Ankle Replacement

Our patients that suffer from severe ankle arthritis can benefit from ankle replacement surgery. Common symptoms that are associated with ankle arthritis can include weakness, pain and difficulty walking.

Hip Replacement

In total hip replacement surgery, the ball and socket of your hip are removed and replaced with artificial implants generally made of metal and a durable plastic material. If you are receiving a hip resurfacing procedure as an alternative to total hip replacement, the process works a bit differently. If you are preparing to have your hip resurfaced, the process is similar to a total hip replacement, however, instead of cutting off the top of the thighbone, the head is manipulated with a metal mushroom-like cap.

Knee Replacement

Knee replacement surgery can alleviate pain and restore function in severely areas of a diseased knee joint. Our highly-skilled orthopedic surgeons will help you determine if a knee replacement procedure is the right route of treatment for you.

Shoulder Replacement

Undergoing a shoulder replacement procedure involves a complex operation that replaces your shoulder joint with artificial components. Relieving pain and improving natural movement with your shoulder is the result of a surgery such as this.

Our center provides an innovative and minimally invasive procedure to our patients that aids in treating all components of the knee.
