Joint Reconstruction Near McLean, VA

Joint reconstruction is a sophisticated surgical technique that can repair and restore function to a damaged joint—such as a shoulder, hip, knee or ankle—without resorting to a full joint replacement. The board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons at Nirschl Orthopaedic Center (NOC) are skilled and experienced in performing the latest joint reconstruction techniques for athletes and other active individuals from McLean, Virginia.

Preserving Natural Joint Integrity

Unlike a conventional joint replacement, which involves replacing the entire joint with a prosthesis, joint reconstruction aims to preserve as much natural bone and tissue as possible. This approach can be particularly beneficial because it allows the joint to maintain its natural integrity and function as a cohesive unit.

Joint reconstruction may be an option for addressing joint pain and limited mobility due to:

  • Osteoarthritis – The cumulative effects of age-related degeneration and daily wear and tear can lead to joint stiffness and reduced range of motion.
  • Trauma – A direct blow to a joint sustained in a fall, car accident or sports-related collision can cause painful damage.
  • An inflammatory condition – Rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and gout are often associated with joint pain and inflammation.

At NOC, we prioritize conservative treatment, and our goal is to help each patient find the least invasive approach that will produce the desired result. After evaluating your joint condition and confirming your diagnosis, we will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan to address your unique needs, goals, lifestyle and preferences.
