Treatment Approach

Helping to shape the future of joint surgery, Dr Ajay Aggarwal specializes in joint preservation, resurfacing and replacement, with surgical techniques designed to preserve as much bone and function as possible.

Medical conditions that can benefit from primary joint replacement of the hip or knee include osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis, osteonecrosis, post-traumatic arthritis and other disorders.

 

Revision total joint replacements also can ease the pain and suffering in patients whose previous implants have failed due to loosening or fracture.
