Total hip replacement and metal- on-metal hip resurfacing are common hip replacement options offered at the Bone & Joint Institute at Canyon Vista.
Knees. Knee replacement surgery can help sufferers of severe pain and restore function to knees damaged by disease or injury. The types of surgery include total knee replacement and partial knee replacement.
Shoulders. Your shoulders are involved in more motion than any other part of your body. Age, overuse and injury can cause persistent painful conditions that may not respond to nonsurgical treatment. The types of surgery skillfully performed include rotator cuff repair, bone spur removal, removal or repair of the labrum, ligament repair, removal of inflamed tissue or loose cartilage, repair of recurrent shoulder dislocation.
