  1. Best Arthritis Specialist Houston The first step in diagnosing arthritis (and determining the type and cause of the disease) is to visit an Arthritis Specialist Houston at one of our Houston are Orthopaedic Offices and meet with a doctor. a rheumatologist for suspected rheumatoid arthritis, or an orthopedist for degenerative arthritis. X-rays are often necessary, in addition to a discussion of symptoms and a physical examination. Blood tests may also be performed to help identify the specific type of arthritis and determine the right treatment option.

  2. Arthroscopy: Well-suited to active people under 40 years of age, this procedure can reduce pain and improve your range of motion. It is a minimally invasive procedure that can be used to repair damaged cartilage and ligaments or remove debris. Joint Resurfacing: This procedure can help with arthritis in the knee and hip, and involves installing an implant, rather than replacing the entire joint. Osteotomy: Osteotomies are performed to help redistribute a patient’s weight and stave off the need for a total joint replacement. Fusion: In serious arthritis cases, pins, rods, and plates can be used to fuse a joint and allow the bone to grow together, locking the joint in place. Total Joint Replacement: The damaged joint is completely replaced with an artificial implant. Note that minimally invasive total joint replacement surgery may be an option for some patients. Joint Revision: Removal of a failed implant and replacement with a new one. Contact one of our Houston area Orthopaedic Surgeons to discuss your arthritis surgery options.
