The decision to proceed with surgery
is significant and mixed with both
hope and anxiety. The goal of any
treatment is to restore a person's
quality of life. Surgical
alternatives are appropriate when
medications and life-style
modifications fail to provide
relief. Fortunately, ongoing
advances in arthritis surgery have
yielded technological breakthroughs
and an ever expanding array of
treatment options. All of these
surgical alternatives are safe and
predictable in our hands.
