The Division of Hip & Knee Joint Reconstruction is dedicated to providing comprehensive care for patients with hip and knee joint-related issues. Our skilled orthopaedic surgeons use the latest scientific research and innovative surgical techniques to relieve pain and improve joint function, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for our patients. Our specialists treat a wide range of conditions, including: Inflammatory arthritis and degenerative osteoarthritis Avascular necrosis (loss of blood supply to the bone) Congenital and post-traumatic injuries Infections Fractures One of our primary research areas is understanding the outcomes of joint replacement surgeries. By analyzing data from large national databases, we evaluate the effectiveness of different surgical techniques, implant designs, and patient-specific factors. This research helps us improve surgical methods and ensure the best possible care for our patients. We are also focused on developing and testing new biomaterials and designs for implants. Our team collaborates with experts in biomedical engineering and materials science to create better joint replacement options. These efforts aim to improve the durability and compatibility of implants, leading to longer-lasting and more effective treatments. In addition, our division is committed to reducing surgical infections. We study various factors that influence infection rates, including patient characteristics, surgical methods, and perioperative (around the time of surgery) management strategies, to develop ways to minimize these risks. Our tradition of surgical innovation is inspired by the late Dr. Kristaps J. Keggi, who was the first surgeon in the United States to use the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) for hip reconstruction at Yale in the 1970s. This minimally invasive technique has transformed patient care and remains the gold standard in hip surgery today.

We are committed to excellence in all areas of musculoskeletal care. Our physicians treat a variety of bone, joint, nerve, and muscle ailments across many orthopaedic specialties. Our physicians work in conjunction with primary care and specialty physicians to treat both common and complex musculoskeletal problems. We're here to help with all aspects of orthopedic care. Whether you are seeking treatment for a minor injury or a serious orthopedic concern, our skilled doctors are experienced in minimally invasive improvements, as well as procedures like joint reconstruction and replacement surgery to help you get moving again. Some of the more common conditions our specialists treat include: Spinal problems, including degenerative conditions, disk herniations, scoliosis, spinal stenosis, fractures, and tumors Shoulder problems, including rotator cuff disease, arthroscopic surgery, arthritis, joint replacement, fractures, and instability Elbow problems, including arthritis, fractures and dislocations, joint replacement, and instability Hand and wrist problems, including arthritis, fractures, arthroscopic surgery, joint replacement, and artery and nerve repairs Pelvis and hip problems, including arthritis, arthroscopic surgery, joint replacement, and fractures Knee problems, including ligament and meniscal tears, arthritis, arthroscopic surgery, joint replacement, and fractures Foot and ankle problems, including tendon and ligament repairs, fractures, arthritis, and joint replacement Pediatric problems, including congenital deformities and fractures Tumor and limb salvage surgery
