Joint preservation & replacement

Preserving the joints of the knee and hip

The most common causes of joint replacement in the knee and hip are osteoarthritis and degenerative arthritis. Whether you’re young or old, these debilitative conditions can dramatically limit your physical activity and leave you in extraordinary pain — particularly after an active day.

Symptoms of osteoarthritis of the hip include pain in the groin and upper thigh when you rotate your leg. Osteoarthritis of the knee is characterized by pain in the knee, as well as bow-leg and knock-kneed postures.

Summit Orthopedics specialists use the most up-to-date and conservative treatments to reduce your pain because surgery doesn’t always deliver the most effective outcomes.
