Joint Preservation

What is Joint Preservation?
Joint preservation restores joint function and delays the need for joint replacement. When cartilage degenerates due to osteoarthritis there is increased friction between the bone ends leading to stiffness, pain and limited range of motion. Our specialists are experienced in identifying and treating patients whose joint problems do not require immediate surgery. Joint preservation reconstructs the joint to offer relief and delays the necessity for a joint replacement. The procedure is more successful in younger patients with arthritis limited to certain areas of the joint.
