Joint Replacement
A painful hip or knee can keep you from doing what you love, even simple tasks like laundry and grocery shopping. If you have tried conservative treatments like physical therapy and medication but are still experiencing persistent joint pain, stiffness, muscle weakness, and swelling, you may need joint replacement surgery.
Our board-certified orthopedic surgeons perform hundreds of joint replacement procedures, also commonly known as arthroplasty, annually to reduce pain and restore function to your joint. We offer the latest surgical options, including minimally invasive techniques, to get you better and back to life faster. Our comprehensive and collaborative approach includes pain management experts, a specialized rehabilitation team, educational seminars for you and your caregivers, and more.

There are around a million hip and knee replacements done every year in the U.S. As UConn Health orthopedic surgeon Olga Solovyova explains, patients are achieving recovery milestones a lot quicker than ever before thanks to a number of new advances.
‘Walking Was Next to Impossible’ Before Double Hip Replacement
Scott Nelson thought a “wheelchair was in his future” because he could not stand or walk before he turned to UConn Health's Dr. Adam Lindsay for care. Scott was diagnosed with Lyme disease and rheumatoid arthritis, then needed a double hip replacement. Scott has regained full mobility thanks to the comprehensive care of Dr. Lindsay.
