Hip
Whether you’re sitting, standing, walking, or bending, your hips are a fundamental component of your daily life. Connecting the thighbone to the trunk, the hip consists of a cup-and-ball-like joint that allows for a great deal of motion in a variety of directions. People of varying ages and lifestyles are susceptible to dozens of different hip conditions and diseases, including osteoarthritis and bursitis.
Knee
The knee is a joint that unites the upper and lower leg, and is a system of moving parts consisting of cartilage, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. It is a hinge that supplies our body with the strength to run, squat, jump, and turn. The knee is vulnerable to a number of injuries and conditions because of its inability to rotate in every direction.
At Advanced Orthopedic Specialists, our specialized hip and knee experts have devoted extensive training and research to evaluating, diagnosing, and treating hip and knee injuries and disorders. Technologies and procedures for care and repair of the hip have evolved significantly over the years, and our specialists are among only a handful in the area to provide state-of-the-art surgical and nonsurgical procedures to treat an array of hip conditions. Whether you have a torn ACL or meniscus, degenerative osteoarthritis of the hip or knee, rheumatoid arthritis, or are in need of a total hip and/or knee replacement, our hip and knee specialists are devoted to developing an individualized treatment plan to effectively help restore your mobility and function. Please be assured that our specialists always consider using nonoperative methods, such as joint injections or physical therapy, to repair your injury first.
