Hip and Knee

The hip, the knee and the shoulder are the big working joints of the body. When something goes wrong with any of them, the problem can seriously impact your entire body and your ability to perform your normal activities.

Our team in the Orthopedic Arthroplasty Service includes orthopedic surgeons with expertise in joint replacement (arthroplasty) of the hip, knee and shoulder; as well as physician's assistants, nurses and physical therapists who are specially trained in the care of patients with joint replacements. We also work together to provide comprehensive management of arthritis in these joints, including joint replacement.
