Hip and Knee Replacement
Our board-certified orthopedic physicians and experienced nursing staff are here to provide knowledgeable, compassionate support for every step of your care. We are committed to answering your questions, addressing your concerns, and delivering dignified, proactive treatment across a wide range of orthopedic needs, including:
Direct Anterior Hip Replacement Surgery
Direct Anterior Hip Replacement is a minimally invasive surgical approach to replacing a damaged or arthritic hip joint. Unlike traditional techniques that access the hip from the side or back, the direct anterior approach uses a small incision at the front of the hip. This allows the surgeon to work between muscles without cutting them, which often results in less pain, faster recovery, and improved mobility after surgery. This technique can reduce the risk of dislocation and help patients return to daily activities more quickly.
Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement Surgery
Robotic-assisted knee replacement uses advanced technology to enhance precision and outcomes during joint replacement. Using a system like the CORI Robotic Surgery System, the surgeon creates a personalized 3D model of the patient’s knee. This allows for accurate planning and precise implant placement based on the patient’s unique anatomy. The robotic system assists the surgeon in executing the surgical plan with real-time feedback, leading to improved alignment, better implant fit, and potentially longer-lasting results. Patients often experience faster recovery times, less pain, and a quicker return to activity.
Partial Knee Replacement
Partial Knee Replacement is a surgical procedure that replaces only the damaged portion of the knee—usually the inner (medial), outer (lateral), or kneecap (patellofemoral) compartment—rather than the entire joint. It’s typically recommended for patients with osteoarthritis limited to one area of the knee. By preserving healthy bone, cartilage, and ligaments, partial knee replacement often leads to a more natural-feeling joint, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery compared to total knee replacement. It’s a less invasive option with less postoperative pain and faster return to normal activities.
Total Knee Replacement Surgery
Total Knee Replacement (also called Total Knee Arthroplasty) is a procedure to replace a severely damaged or worn knee joint with artificial implants made of metal and plastic. The procedure involves removing the damaged bone and cartilage from the thighbone, shinbone, and kneecap, and replacing it with a prosthetic joint designed to replicate the natural movement of the knee. It is highly effective for relieving pain and restoring function in patients with advanced arthritis or knee joint degeneration. With modern techniques and physical therapy, most patients regain strength and mobility within weeks after surgery.
Total Hip Replacement Surgery
Total Hip Replacement is a procedure in which a damaged hip joint is replaced with an artificial joint (prosthesis). The surgery involves removing the diseased or arthritic bone and cartilage from the hip socket (acetabulum) and the head of the femur, then replacing them with a combination of metal, ceramic, or plastic components. This surgery is commonly performed to relieve pain and improve mobility in patients with severe arthritis, hip fractures, or other joint disorders. With proper rehabilitation, most patients experience significant pain relief, improved function, and a better quality of life after recovery.
