The arthritis and joint replacement service specializes in the care of adult patients with arthritic disorders of the hip, knee, and shoulder.
Commonly treated conditions include:
A type of arthritis that affects the spine, causing inflammation of the spine and large joints, resulting in stiffness and pain.
A group of diseases and conditions that may cause pain, stiffness, and swelling in the joints and other supporting body structures, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones.
A condition caused by loss of blood to the bone the leads the bone to die and eventually collapse, if not treated. Commonly occurs in the upper leg, arm, knees, shoulders, and ankles.
Swelling and irritation of a bursa, a fluid-filled sac, typically impacting the knee, shoulder or hip, that acts as a cushion between muscles, tendons, and joints.
A chronic disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and tenderness in localized areas.
A type of inflammatory arthritis that typically starts in the joints of the big toe and is characterized by sudden attacks of intense pain, swelling, and redness in joints or soft tissues.
A range of conditions in which the hip becomes inflamed or injured due to overuse or certain activities.
An infection in the joint (synovial) fluid and joint tissues, often due to an injection, surgery, or injury.
A form of arthritis in children ages 15 or younger that causes inflammation and stiffness of joints and can affect bone development in young children.
Often the result of an injury or a sudden movement that strains the knee, causing pain, swelling, and difficulty in walking.
A condition resulting from low testosterone, which can lead to decreased energy, sex drive, sleep, concentration, lean body mass, bone density and sperm production.
An autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the body's cells and tissue, resulting in widespread, chronic inflammation and tissue damage.
A multi-stage, multi-system bacterial infection caused by bacteria, commonly from a tick bite.
We offer services to evaluate patients that require joint replacements caused by the break down of the joint from Lyme disease. We do not treat the actual Lyme disease.
The most common form of arthritis, this chronic, degenerative joint disease is characterized by the breakdown of joint cartilage. Although it can occur in any joint, usually it affects the hands, knees, hips, or spine.
A form of arthritis associated with psoriasis, a chronic skin and nail disease characterized by red, scaly rashes and thick, pitted fingernails.
A type of arthritis that occurs as a reaction to an infection somewhere in the body.
A chronic, autoimmune disease characterized by painful and stiff joints on both sides of the body that may become enlarged and deformed.
Inflammation of a tendon (the tough cords of tissue that connect muscles to bones), usually caused by overuse or injury.

With advancements in surgical techniques, materials, and patient selection, total joint replacement is no longer limited by age.
