Knee Replacement
If you’re considering knee replacement surgery, you’ll be in good company — over 600,000 are performed each year in the United States. Thanks to modern techniques and equipment, knee replacement surgeries are less invasive and have shorter recovery times than ever before.
Hip Replacement
Your hip is the largest ball-and-socket joint in your body, and it’s made up of just two bones: your pelvis and your femur. The top of your femur, which is called the femoral head, fits neatly into the lower side of your pelvic bone in an area called the acetabulum.
Knee Arthroscopy
No one likes the idea of surgery, which is what makes arthroscopic surgery so appealing. This minimally-invasive technique allows orthopaedic surgeon Diane S. Litke to diagnose and correct problems in your knees without the downtime and risk associated with open surgery.
Arm-Assisted Robotic Surgery
The Mako robotic-assisted joint replacement technology is more than just a surgical aid. If you need to have a joint replaced, the Mako technology starts by providing Dr. Litke with a preoperative plan.
Foot Pain
It would be no exaggeration to say that your feet provide your body with the foundation for all of your movement and support. So, when foot pain strikes, it can have a huge impact on your ability to move about freely.
