Joint Replacement & Reconstruction

Taking care of a severely injured or diseased joint is more than applying state-of-the-art surgical techniques. It is the skilled hands-on evaluation and appropriate diagnostic testing that determines the best overall plan of care.

At St. Agnes, we exhaust every appropriate treatment option before considering surgery. If a surgical procedure becomes the right choice, our team of specialists is trained to correct problems related to joint pain. Our approach to joint care and surgery produces outstanding clinical and patient satisfaction results. This integrated approach enables our clinical team to properly evaluate a patient’s condition and prepare each patient mentally and physically for their procedure.

Hip Replacement Surgery

Hip replacement surgery removes the arthritic ball of the upper femur (thighbone) as well as the damaged cartilage from the hip socket. The ball is replaced by a metal or ceramic ball that is solidly fixed to a stem inserted into the femur.

Knee Replacement Surgery

Knee replacement surgery is really a cartilage replacement. The knee itself is not replaced, only the cartilage on the ends of the bones. Knee replacement implants include a metal alloy on the bottom of the thighbone and polyethylene (plastic) on the top of the tibia and underneath the kneecap. Learn more...

Shoulder Replacement Surgery

An arthritic or injured shoulder greatly affects activities of daily living by causing pain and limiting motion. When shoulder replacement surgery is necessary, the surgeon may perform either a total shoulder replacement or a hemi (partial) shoulder replacement. Learn more...

After Your Surgery

After surgery, we monitor and manage the entire pre- and post-surgical performance and progress. This full-service approach, which integrates the patient’s primary care physician and surgeon with a host of clinical support staff, is designed to return our patients to maximum function as quickly and safely as possible. Our surgical team has the ability to replace all major joints.
