Joint Replacement

Knee, hip, and other joints perform the essential task of allowing the body to move freely and without pain. Joint disease or injury can result in severe pain, muscle weakness, and limitation of the basic movements required by everyday life. Rothman Orthopaedists have the training, experience, and skill to diagnose your joint condition and restore normal function and movement.

Joint Conditions We Treat

Our doctors treat a wide range of joint conditions, including osteoarthritis, osteonecrosis, femoroacetabular impingement, synovitis, labral tears, cartilage injuries, meniscal tears, and injuries of the ACL, MCL, LCL, and PCL. We specialize in advanced hip and knee replacement procedures for patients in whom nonsurgical treatments may be ineffective.

Hip Replacement

Hip replacement is a surgery to remove painful and damaged parts of the hip, which are replaced with artificial prostheses. An orthopedic surgeon may suggest hip replacement surgery for individuals who have damage to the joints caused by arthritis, or an injury to the hip that creates difficulty in walking and participating in everyday activities. Other factors necessitating a hip replacement include fractures or dislocations of the hip and aseptic bone necrosis.

Knee Replacement

Knee replacement surgery involves the removal of damaged bone and cartilage from the thigh bone, shinbone, and kneecap. These areas are removed by our orthopedic surgeons and replaced with artificial joints made of metal alloys, high-grade plastic and polymers. This joint replacement surgery is recommended for individuals who experience difficulty walking or performing everyday activities, such as getting dressed. Knee replacement surgery may also be recommended for those with advanced joint disease.
