When disease processes affect joints irreversibly, patients are left with significant disability due to pain and limitations of motion.  Even activities of daily living, such as rising from a chair, dressing, or using a comb or brush are nearly impossible to perform.  These conditions are usually managed without surgery.  But occasionally the damage to the joint is so severe that the only alternative is a complete replacement of the diseased joint.

These and many other conditions attack all joints of the body.  The most commonly affected are the hips, knees, shoulders, hands, and spine.  Advanced Orthopaedic Institute performs many of joint replacement procedures each year.  We have adopted the most advanced replacement techniques, including minimal-incision and computer-assisted techniques, to help relieve your pain and assist you toward a more active life.
