Considering Joint Replacement?

With today’s advancements in surgical techniques and technology, joint replacement is safer and more effective than ever. Many of our patients return to activities they thought they couldn’t enjoy again, it’s our goal to help you do the same.

We’re invested in your health. Our board-certified surgeons use minimally invasive techniques that help reduce your pain, improve mobility and assist with a faster recovery. From pre-surgery education to post-surgical rehabilitation, we ensure that you feel informed and cared for during every stage of your recovery.

Joint pain shouldn’t interfere in your daily life. When you’re ready to consider joint replacement surgery, our team of experts are here to discuss all aspects of surgery with you.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals
  • Pre-surgery education to help you prepare
  • Post-op rehabilitation to improve strength and mobility
  • Ongoing follow-up care during your recovery

  • Partial: This type of procedure is a more targeted approach towards the specific damaged portions of your joint. With a partial replacement, we try to preserve as much of the healthy tissue as possible, so your movements are more natural.
  • Total: A total joint replacement is where we remove the damaged bone and replace it with a prosthetic joint. The new joint, coupled with any preserved healthy bone, ligaments and tissue, will help restore your mobility.

Robotic-assisted joint replacement surgery offers a cutting-edge approach that enhances a surgeon’s precision and greatly reduces your recovery time.

This state-of-the-art technology provides our surgical team with a 3D anatomical scan of your joint’s immediate area. This allows the surgeon to plan the most optimal joint replacement implant location prior to the surgery.

Key benefits of robotic surgery include:

  • Faster recovery
  • Minimal scarring
  • Reduced pain
  • Shorter hospital stays
  • Smaller incisions

With the ability to customize surgery to your unique anatomy, robotic-assisted surgeries help provide the best possible outcome so you can get back to moving pain-free.

Doctors will typically recommend non-surgical treatments first, such as bracing, injections, medications or physical therapy.

If those haven’t brought you relief, you might be a good candidate for surgery if you’re still experiencing:

  • Limited mobility, from arthritis or joint deterioration
  • Pain during rest or sleep
  • Persistent pain that’s interfering with your daily life

If joint pain is affecting your quality of life, contact our team about surgical options and next steps.
