Joint Replacement / Reconstruction
Offering Advanced Joint Procedures in East Syracuse
A joint is where two or more bones come together, like the shoulder, knee, or hip. Joint replacement surgery consists of removing the old joint and replacing it with a new, artificial joint. This surgery may be necessary if the joint has been damaged by arthritis, injury, or other causes. Any of these conditions may cause mild discomfort to severe and debilitating pain.
We have specialists in joint replacement, joint reconstruction, and joint preservation procedures. The Upstate Orthopedics joint replacement surgeons in Syracuse are fellowship trained in the diagnosis and treatment of joint problems.
