Joint Replacement

Joint, Knee, Hip, and Shoulder Replacement

You’ve got a lot riding on your knee, hip, and shoulder joints. They’re the major hinges of your body, determining your capacity to work, play, exercise, and enjoy life. When they begin to fail, pain and limitations very quickly take center stage.

Our impeccably trained team of joint specialists, the region’s leaders in eliminating pain, restoring stability, and welcoming freedom of movement back into your life, utilize the latest diagnostic innovations to determine the cause of your pain and the best course of treatment.

Conditions We Treat

Our Joint Team diagnoses and treats some of the most common conditions that affect the joints, including Hip Arthritis, Knee Arthritis, and Shoulder Arthritis.

In cases where surgery is required, be it in the form of arthroscopy (joint scoping) or arthroplasty (joint replacement), our surgeons stand head and shoulders above the rest, performing thousands of these minimally invasive procedures every year.

Recognized Leader in Outpatient Joint Replacement

Reno Orthopedic Center is a recognized leader in outpatient joint replacement. Our forward-looking approach has yielded numerous historical “firsts.” The most significant being the performance of both the region’s first outpatient total knee replacement and the first outpatient anterior approach hip replacement, a procedure that allows surgeons to operate from the front of the hip rather than the side, preserving muscle tissue and speeding healing.

About Your Knees

The knee is a complex, hinge-like joint. With support from cartilage, ligaments, and muscles, the two bones at the joint move over each other so you can straighten and bend your leg. In a healthy knee, the surfaces of the thigh and shinbones are smooth and lubricated by joint fluid so they can roll, rotate, and glide easily over each other. Cartilage covers the bones evenly, allowing smooth movement. Protected by the kneecap and held in place by muscles and ligaments the joint bends freely.

About Your Hips

The hip joint connects the pelvis with the legs. It is a ball and socket joint with the ball on top of the femur (thigh bone) and the socket in the pelvis. It allows for twisting, bending, and back and forth motions. Reaching down to the floor and putting on your socks and shoes require a nearly normal range of motion of the hips.

Walking, running, and most other upright activities can be painful if the hip is damaged, and even sitting for long periods and sleeping can be disrupted by a diseased hip. Strong muscles connecting the pelvis to the femur power the hip joint and are also subject to injury. Ongoing research into hip joint mechanics and various injuries is leading to more options for treating this large and important joint.

Joint Replacement Physicians

"Amazing care and precision used on my knee. I had a complex situation and Dr. Jones took care of me perfectly. I won't use anyone else every and recommend him to anyone I talk to!"

"I have had 2 total hip replacements by Dr. Boyden. He and his staff are friendly, professional, respectful, kind, and take the time to listen to my concerns. Anyone needing a hip replacement must see Dr. Boyden."

"My hip was done and I could not continue. I went to ROC and met with Dr. Watts and his team. It was the best decision I have made for the care of my hip. The surgery was done and I recovered faster than expected and the care I received was more than 5 stars. Thank you for giving me my life back and the excellent care you provided. I will see you when my knee becomes unbearable, I wouldn't think of going anywhere else. Don't wait in pain, get it done, you will be glad you did."

"Dr. Shukla, Davis Ayers, and their team are awesome. I'm so young to have not one, but two hip replacements and I am glad I made the decision to have it done and I am even more glad Dr. Shukla and his team performed the surgery which has been a success. I feel so much better since. Best experience I have ever had when it comes to surgery."
