Hip Replacement Surgery

Hip replacement is often recommended for patients suffering from severe arthritis, chronic pain, and limited mobility. When conservative treatments such as medication and physical therapy no longer provide relief, hip replacement surgery can restore function and quality of life.

Dr. Sunner offers several types of hip replacement surgery: 

  • -Anterior Hip Replacement: A minimally invasive approach that involves a smaller incision at the front of the hip, avoiding muscle cuts for faster recovery. 
  • -Hip Resurfacing: A procedure where the hip socket (acetabulum) and the femoral head are resurfaced with metal, preserving more bone. 
  • -Total Hip Replacement (THR): A procedure in which the entire hip joint or a portion of it is replaced with a prosthesis to relieve pain and restore mobility. 
  • -Minimally Invasive Hip Surgery: A technique designed to reduce recovery time while maintaining the effectiveness of traditional hip replacement procedures. 
  •  

Knee Replacement Surgery

Knee injuries and arthritis can cause pain, swelling, and stiffness, making it difficult for patients to perform daily activities. Dr. Sunner offers the following knee replacement options: 

  • -Total Knee Replacement (TKR): Involves resurfacing the arthritic knee joint with artificial metal or plastic prostheses. 
  • -Partial Knee Replacement: Only part of the knee joint is replaced, using a smaller incision compared to total knee replacement. 
  • -Knee Arthroscopy: A minimally invasive procedure using an arthroscope to inspect and treat knee joint problems. 
  • -Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction: A procedure to repair or reconstruct the torn ACL using either the hamstring tendon or patellar tendon, typically performed with minimal incisions and low complication rates. 

 

Shoulder Surgery & Disorders

Shoulder pain is often caused by conditions that limit movement and cause significant discomfort. Dr. Sunner provides comprehensive care for shoulder issues, including: 

  • -Shoulder Joint Replacement: Performed to relieve pain and improve function when non-surgical treatments are no longer effective. 
  • -Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement: A specialized technique for treating rotator cuff tear arthropathy, where both arthritis and a rotator cuff tear are present. 
  • -Shoulder Hemiarthroplasty: Also known as partial shoulder replacement, this surgery involves replacing the upper bone in the arm (humerus) with a prosthesis while leaving the shoulder socket intact.
