When replacement is the right answer.
Modern joint replacement is one of the most reliable operations in medicine — when it's done at the right time, for the right patient, with the right technique. The decision to operate should be honest about all three.
We use precise implant positioning, opioid-sparing pain control, and outpatient-style recovery pathways where appropriate. Most patients are walking the same day. Most knee patients are off a walker by week two. Most hip patients (anterior approach) are off restrictions almost immediately.
We don't pressure replacement. If you're a candidate for preservation, that conversation comes first — and many patients end up there.
Who this is for.
- Patients with end-stage arthritis no longer responsive to conservative care
- Patients whose pain is disrupting sleep, walking, or daily life
- Patients seeking a second opinion before joint replacement
- Patients needing revision of a previous replacement
Philosophy.
Joint replacement should be the last operation you need, not the first. The aim is one careful, well-positioned implant that disappears into your life — not a sequence of revisions over the next thirty years.
