Total Joint Replacement

Our Team Will Guide You through Every Step

Pain from arthritis got you down? In the Hip and Knee Center, our joint reconstruction specialists offer a range of treatments from non-operative measures to partial and total joint replacement. When possible, nonsurgical methods are utilized first, with a philosophy that the longer the life of a person’s joint can be prolonged before opting for joint replacement, the better for the patient. In cases where surgery is needed, our surgeons utilize the least-invasive procedures and most cutting edge replacement techniques to speed your recovery.

Our team treats pain associated with joint conditions, including:

Osteoarthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis
Avascular necrosis
Post-traumatic arthritis
Revision procedures for prior replacements that have worn out or failed
