What is joint preservation surgery?

Joint preservation surgery encompasses advanced techniques designed to protect, repair, and restore your natural joint to delay or avoid the need for joint replacement. These procedures address cartilage damage, joint malalignment, and ligament injuries to maintain joint function and an active lifestyle.

Who is a good candidate for joint preservation?

Ideal candidates for joint preservation are typically younger, active patients with early-stage arthritis, cartilage defects, or joint injuries who want to maintain their natural joint. Dr. Elguizaoui's international fellowship training in Europe provided specialized expertise in evaluating patients for these procedures.

How does joint preservation differ from joint replacement?

Joint preservation focuses on saving and restoring your natural joint through techniques like cartilage repair, realignment osteotomy, and biologic treatments. Joint replacement removes the damaged joint surfaces and replaces them with artificial components. Preservation is preferred when possible, especially in younger patients.
