Hip and Knee

The Joint Center at Salem Hospital 

Hip and knee pain can make everyday activities like walking and bending excruciating. As we age, certain types of arthritis can cause the cartilage in our joints to break down, causing pain and limiting mobility. The Joint Center at Salem Hospital includes experts in hip and knee conditions as well as total joint replacement who can help patients get moving again and enjoying the things they love to do.

Initial Consultation

Patients with hip or knee conditions will be evaluated by a member of our orthopedic team and will receive a comprehensive exam which may include diagnostic imaging such as X-ray, MRI or CT. Following the evaluation, our team will diagnose your condition and work with you to develop the optimal treatment plan.

Non-Surgical Care

Certain hip or knee conditions may be treated with non-surgical approaches, such as physical therapy, medication or injections. Our team of sports medicine, orthopedic and physical therapy experts specialize in the latest non-surgical techniques which helps many patients regain movement and live pain free.

Robotic Assisted Surgery

Salem Hospital is proud to offer robotic assisted joint replacement surgery. This new technology enables your surgeon to place your joint implant with pinpoint accuracy, enhance recovery and minimize complications. Several of Salem Hospital’s board-certified orthopedic surgeons are specially trained to offer this innovative technology as a surgical option to patients.

Joint Preservation

The goal of joint preservation is to prevent injury, reduce inflammation and preserve cartilage. Our expert team offers a range of treatments including:

  • Injections of hyaluronic acid or corticosteroids to reduce inflammation in the lining of the joints
  • Platelet-rich plasma and advanced biologic injections that can stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation and stimulate your own cells in the healing response.
  • Cartilage transplant – new cartilage, grown from the patient’s own cells, can be transplanted to repair damaged tissue

Joint Surgery

For patients who require surgery to replace a damaged or deteriorated joint, our board-certified surgeons are trained in innovative approaches to hip and knee replacement, including arthroscopic and robotic surgery. They use a variety of minimally invasive techniques, as well as state-of-the-art approaches to cartilage and soft tissue repair.

Our surgical team works with you to develop an individualized treatment plan that will prepare you for surgery and ensure that you recover to your fullest potential. You will meet our Total Joint Navigators who will help guide you through the process of planning for your surgery.
