What is Joint Preservation?
Joint preservation is the concept of using all available technology and techniques to preserve your natural joints. These techniques include:
- Cartilage restoration surgery for injured joints
- Orthobiologics/stem cell therapy
- Subchondroplasty, which can dramatically reduce pain and restore function for certain arthritis patients
- Superior capsular reconstruction for “unfixable” rotator cuff tears, which would otherwise require a reverse total shoulder replacement
- Resurfacing shoulder replacement
- Partial knee replacement
- Rapid recovery quadriceps-sparing total knee replacement
