Joint Replacement

Joint replacement has become such a common orthopaedic procedure that hundreds of thousands of people nationwide have a knee or hip replaced each year to treat pain stemming from trauma or arthritis.

The technique not only restores pain-free range of motion, it improves quality of life and the ability to lead an active lifestyle as well. Replacement joints function just like natural ones, and are made of metal, ceramic, or plastic.

Our joint replacement specialists, Dr. Edward Decter, Dr. Steven Robbins and Dr. David Loya, are leaders in joint replacement. Dr. Edward Decter is a pioneer in the development of outpatient total knee replacements. Dr. Robbins also has conducted research on joint replacements and total joint prosthetic design, and is well known for his expertise in revision joint replacement, which involves exchanging a worn joint prosthesis with a new one.
