Our Orthopedic Treatments and Services
More than one million joint replacements are performed in the U.S. each year, according to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, offering long-lasting relief for many patients. In fact, a hip or knee replacement done today can typically last for 20 years or more, as noted by the American College of Rheumatology. Musculoskeletal diseases, including conditions like trauma, back pain, and arthritis, are incredibly common, affecting over half of U.S. adults aged 18 and over, and nearly three-quarters of those aged 65 and older, leading to a significant number of healthcare visits each year.
Our fellowship-trained, board-certified physicians specialize in a variety of surgical treatments and conditions. We provide minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to help reduce scarring and speed up your recovery times. Our surgeons provide the following procedures:
- Anterior hip replacement surgery
- Arthritis management
- Arthroscopic surgery
- Foot and ankle surgery

Hip Preservation Program
The Hip Preservation Program aims to achieve early treatment of traumatic and degenerative conditions of the hip to attempt to prevent or delay progression of hip injury. The program focuses on identifying hip pathology such as impingement, dysplasia, and labral injury.
The physicians have had subspecialty training in minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques of the hip including:
- Cartilage repair techniques, such as microfracture and biocartilage procedures
- Endoscopic techniques to repair tendon tears
- Impingement correction
- Labral repair and reconstruction
- Perform bursectomies and iliotibial band releases
- Removal of loose bodies
When preventative techniques are not amenable we have a capable team of Total Joint specialists to complete the appropriate joint reconstruction.
