Joint Replacement
Taking a walk, getting in and out of a chair, playing golf, driving a car...These are only a few of the many activities that become difficult for those experiencing chronic hip or knee pain. However, each year, more than 400,000 Americans find relief and healing through joint replacement, and Norton Orthopaedic Care is dedicated to offering a wide range of joint replacement options.
Our medical team includes some of the region's most experienced orthopaedic surgeons and specialists, all with advanced training in joint replacement. However, what really sets us apart is our commitment to using the latest advances in minimally invasive techniques and procedures. Our physicians are among the few to offer qualified candidates new, minimally invasive joint-replacement surgeries, including anterior-approach hip replacement surgery.
These surgeries require more advanced training and more delicate instrumentation, but typically result in shorter hospital stays (if any) and the need for less post-operative pain medication and rehabilitation than traditional methods. Other potential benefits of minimally invasive surgery include:
- Smaller incisions
- Less tissue damage
- Less scarring
- Less postoperative pain
- Faster recovery time
