Hip replacement surgery is a successful treatment for hip arthritis. Hip replacement surgery is one of the safest and most effective operations in all of medicine. Hip replacement typically reduces the groin and buttock pain associated with hip arthritis.
Knee replacement surgery is a successful treatment for knee arthritis. Knee replacement surgery typically improves knee pain with standing walking and performing daily weight-bearing activities.
ACL reconstruction is successful treatment for young people who have had a traumatic ACL tear. It can help active young people regain stability in their knee, so that they can return to sport.
One of the many causes of knee pain is a tear of the meniscus. Meniscus tears can cause an ache in the knee, worse with twisting, changing directions or squatting deeply.
Platelet Rich Plasma injections (PRP) can help with the pain associated with knee arthritis as well as tendonitis in many areas. Hyaluronic Acid injections can also help lubricate joints and decrease pain.
Partial Knee Arthroplasty is a type of knee replacement involving only the diseased half of the joint. This is a less invasive procedure that allows for a more “natural” feel after surgery. A subset of Total Knee Replacement patients are candidates for this procedure.
