What is Minimally Invasive Joint Replacement? Burbank CA
Minimally Invasive Joint Replacement is considered an advanced treatment approach to orthopedic joint replacement procedures such as Shoulder Replacements, Hip Replacements and Knee Replacements. With specialized training and access to state-of-the-art equipment, Minimally Invasive Joint Replacement procedures are carefully and meticulously completed sparing and maintaining patient’s native ligaments, muscles and tendons allowing a quicker and easier recovery period. Dr. Eli Ahdoot and our specialists provide patients with safe hip , knee, and shoulder joint replacements through minimally invasive skin incisions and limited dissection of muscles, tendons and ligaments. We serve patients throughout Burbank, Los Angeles, and surrounding areas.
Minimally Invasive Shoulder Replacement
Shoulder Replacement is a procedure in which the ball of the shoulder is replaced with an artificial joint. The artificial joint usually consists of metal and plastic components. The metal component of the joint is called a ball, socket, or cup. This piece fits into a corresponding hole in the socket of the arm bone. The plastic component is called a stem or neck. It fits into this hole in the socket as well. In addition to creating a smoother motion between these two pieces, it also creates an anchor for tendons and muscles that attach to this socket. Shoulder replacement can be performed through arthroscopy or open surgery depending on each case’s needs and treatment plan.
Minimally Invasive Hip Replacement
Hip replacement is surgery to replace part or all of the hip joint with an artificial implant (artificial prosthesis), usually made of metal and plastic material. In some cases, patients may choose not to replace their hip; instead they will have surgery on nearby parts of their body to relieve pain and allow better function in other areas (for example, by moving knee joints closer together). Hip replacement can be performed through arthroscopy or open surgery depending on each case’s needs and treatment plan.
Minimally Invasive Knee Replacement
Knee replacement is surgery to replace part or all of the knee joint with an artificial implant (artificial prosthesis), usually made of metal and plastic material. In some cases, patients may choose not to replace their knee; instead they will have surgery on nearby parts of their body to relieve pain and allow better function in other areas (for example, by moving hip joints closer together). Knee replacement can be performed through arthroscopy or open surgery depending on each case’s needs and treatment plan.
