We offer a unique program in joint preservation surgery of the knee and hip. The program is designed to maximize the function of native joints and to potentially prevent or delay the ultimate need for total joint arthroplasty. The various procedures with this aim include fresh cartilage transplantation (osteochondral allografting); mosaicplasty; unicompartmental knee arthroplasty; realignment of the pelvis, femur, and knee (osteotomies); and resurfacing hip arthroplasty.
