Conditions We Treat

The Joint Replacement Center of NYC provides patients access to medical teams highly specialized in treating degenerative joint conditions. Utilizing leading clinical procedures, the Center’s surgeons are renowned for their expertise in replacements, complex joint revisions, as well as minimally invasive surgeries for knees, hips, shoulders and other joints.

Conditions we treat include:

Osteoarthritis
• The most common type of arthritis, osteoarthritis is a joint disease that affects the cartilage, which breaks down and wears away. It may result in pain, stiffness and loss of flexibility. It is sometimes referred to as degenerative joint disease.

Rheumatoid Arthritis
• A chronic disease, mainly characterized by inflammation of the lining of the joint. It can lead to long-term joint damage, resulting in chronic pain, loss of function and motion and result in disability.

Post-Traumatic Arthritis
• Arthritis that settles into joints due to acute or repetitive trauma. Post-traumatic arthritis can be found in younger as well as older patients who are active in sports and other physical activities. Fractures near a joint may also result in the development of arthritis.

Avascular Necrosis
• Avascular Necrosis is a disease resulting from the temporary or permanent loss of the blood supply to one or more bones. Without blood, the bone tissue dies and causes the bone to collapse. If the process involves the bones near a joint, it often leads to collapse of the joint surface.

Congenital Birth Defects
• Abnormal development of the hip and knee, as well as other joints, from birth. This condition may result in instability, limb shortening and arthritis.
