    Knee Arthritis

    The knee is one of the most commonly involved joints with arthritis. Arthritis is the loss of the normal protective cartilage that covers the bones. When this cartilage or “padding” of the bone breaks down and is lost, areas of raw bone become exposed and grind against each other with standing and walking. This is “bone on bone” arthritis and is usually painful.

    Knee Osteotomy

    Osteotomy literally means “cutting of the bone.” When early-stage osteoarthritis has damaged just one side of the knee joint, or when malalignment of the knee causes increased stress to ligaments or cartilage, a knee osteotomy may be performed to reshape either the tibia (shinbone) or femur (thighbone) to relieve pressure on the joint.

    Shoulder Dislocation

    A dislocated shoulder occurs when the head of the upper arm bone (humerous) is either partially or completely out of its socket (glenoid). Whether it is a partial dislocation (subluxation) or the shoulder is completely dislocated, the result can be pain and unsteadiness in the shoulder.

    Total Hip Replacement (Hip Arthroplasty)

    In a total hip replacement, or total hip arthroplasty, the damaged bone and cartilage is removed and replaced with prosthetic components. Many different types of designs and materials are currently used in artificial hip joints. Your surgeon will recommend the most appropriate implants and surgical approach for your needs.
