CONDITIONS WE TREAT
Joint Problems That May Lead to Replacement Care
Joint pain can gradually affect how you move, rest, and function each day. When walking, climbing stairs, or sleeping becomes difficult, it may be time for evaluation. We assess knee and hip conditions that may require joint replacement in West Orange, NJ, always starting with a clear understanding of your symptoms and goals.
Knee Arthritis
Knee arthritis can cause swelling, stiffness, and discomfort during daily movement. We evaluate joint changes and discuss options such as therapy, injections, partial knee replacement, or full replacement when needed.
Hip Arthritis
Hip arthritis may lead to groin or thigh pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. We review your symptoms and imaging to determine whether robotic hip replacement may be appropriate.
Bone-on-Bone Joint Changes
When cartilage wears down, bones may rub together and cause persistent pain. We explain your imaging results and whether MAKO joint replacement may be suitable.
Chronic Joint Pain
Long-term knee or hip pain can affect work, sleep, and daily routines. We focus on identifying the cause and building a treatment plan that fits your lifestyle.
Loss of Mobility
Difficulty standing, walking, or moving comfortably may indicate joint changes. We evaluate strength, alignment, and motion to guide your care.
Failed Conservative Treatment
If medications, therapy, or injections no longer provide relief, we discuss whether advanced joint replacement may be the next step.
Treatment Approach
We Begin With Conservative Care and Move to Surgery When Needed
01
Non-Surgical Care
We start conservative whenever we can
We prioritize non-surgical options when appropriate to reduce pain and improve movement. This may include therapy, injections, medication guidance, and lifestyle adjustments.
02
Surgical Care
When surgery is the right call, we keep it minimally invasive
When conservative care is no longer effective, we may consider robotic joint replacement in West Orange, NJ. MAKO robotic surgery supports precise planning and implant placement for knee and hip procedures.
