This is possible due to introduction of minimally invasive techniques, modern pain protocols, improved anesthetic techniques, and rapid rehabilitation protocols.
Total hip replacement is a surgical procedure where a damaged or diseased hip joint is replaced with a prosthetic implant. This operation is commonly recommended for patients with severe arthritis or hip fractures, helping to alleviate pain and restore mobility, allowing individuals to resume daily activities with improved joint function.
Total knee replacement, also called total knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which the worn out or damaged surfaces of the knee joint are removed and replaced with artificial components made of metal or plastic. Dr. Beecher performs total knee replacement to treat severe osteoarthritis of the knee and improve mobility and quality of life.
