Is hip, knee, or shoulder replacement right for you?
If you experience constant hip pain, trouble sleeping, or difficulty walking after sitting, it may be time to consider hip replacement. Our board-certified, fellowship-trained surgeons specialize in advanced techniques like anterior hip replacement, focusing on safety, personalized care, and optimal recovery.
Severe knee pain from osteoarthritis that disrupts sleep and daily activities may indicate the need for partial or total knee replacement. We aim to preserve healthy tissue and restore natural movement using advanced pain control and proven recovery protocols for the best outcomes.
Shoulder pain often develops gradually due to overuse, placing repeated stress on the joint and surrounding soft tissues. This can lead to chronic discomfort, stiffness, and limited mobility. Arthritis is another common cause, damaging the cartilage that cushions the shoulder and reducing range of motion. If any of these descriptions apply to you, it may be time to consider shoulder replacement.
Advanced Techniques for Knee Replacements
From partial replacements to complex revisions, our expert orthopaedic surgeons treat even the most advanced knee conditions. If osteoarthritis is causing severe pain and limiting your life, you may be ready for partial or total knee replacement.
Connecticut Orthopaedic Institute is among the few centers nationwide offering bicruciate-retaining total knee replacement, which preserves both ACL and PCL for improved motion, a more natural gait, and effective pain relief.
We follow proven pre- and post-operative protocols to enhance recovery, maximize function, and ensure comfort through advanced pain management. You’ll receive personalized guidance, thorough evaluations, and complete education about your procedure—your safety and best outcome are always our priority.
Advanced Techniques for Hip Replacements
Our board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeons specialize in complex hip procedures, including revision surgeries, hardware removal, and total hip replacements. We offer the latest techniques, such as the anterior approach, a minimally invasive method that preserves key muscles and may reduce post-operative restrictions and dislocation risk.
If you're experiencing persistent hip pain, sleep disruption, or difficulty walking after sitting, it may be time to consider hip replacement. We prioritize your safety and comfort, offering personalized care and thorough preparation—from pre-anesthesia evaluations to post-operative recovery.
Advanced Techniques for Shoulder Replacements
When arthritis pain becomes severe and begins to interfere with daily activities, shoulder replacement surgery may be an effective treatment option. Our experienced surgical team offers both total shoulder replacement (TSR) and reverse total shoulder replacement procedures and performs a high volume of these surgeries as leading providers in the region.
Before surgery, you’ll receive personalized care and comprehensive education about every step of the process. This includes time to ask questions, a thorough pre-anesthesia evaluation, and clear explanations of the procedure and recovery timeline. Shoulder replacement surgery may be recommended for patients with degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis).
Same-Day Joint Replacement
Connecticut Orthopaedic Institute offers qualified patients the option for same-day joint replacement—allowing them to return home the day of surgery. This is available for partial and total knee replacements, total hip replacements, and total shoulder replacements.
Same-day procedures are scheduled early to allow ample recovery time in the hospital. Patients receive the same high-quality care as overnight stays, including support from a dedicated navigator, care team and defined discharge criteria to ensure safety.
Pre-operative preparation includes a guidebook, mandatory education class, medical clearance, and coordination of prescriptions, equipment, and homecare services—all arranged before surgery.
