Joint Reconstruction

Advanced solutions for shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee pain

Our joints keep us moving. But that very fact makes them subject to painful injuries, wear and tear, and conditions that can limit our mobility and cause pain. Fortunately, Erlanger Orthopaedics offers the latest solutions to address a full range of joint conditions and injuries - including progressive or permanent damage as a result of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, neurologic disorders, trauma and overuse. In addition to breakthrough non-surgical options, our fellowship trained surgeons offer the latest, minimally invasive joint replacement and reconstruction options. These options bring faster recovery, reduced post-surgical discomfort, and significantly improved outcomes.

Trust your painful joints to:

  • A certified Center to Excellence for hip and knee replacement – Erlanger has achieved certification as a Hip and Knee Replacement Center of Excellence from DNV-GL Healthcare, a world-leading certification organization. Based on guidelines from the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS), this certification recognizes program excellence in patient care and outcomes for hip and knee replacement at Erlanger's downtown and East locations.
  • The region’s most comprehensive joint replacement program – Our board certified, fellowship-trained surgeons provide excellent outcomes for full and partial joint replacements; as well as repair and reconstruction of the hip, knee, shoulder, elbow and ankle.
  • The region’s leading minimally invasive hip surgery – We offer an effective, less-invasive solution for active patients experiencing debilitating hip pain. Operating arthroscopically, our surgeons can repair pre-arthritic hips, usually on an outpatient basis. Learn more about our minimally invasive, anterior, and posterior hip replacement options.

From Our Patients

“I couldn't be more pleased with the results and attention I have received with my rotator cuff surgery. I will recommend Doctor Dorizas and his wonderful staff to everyone.”- Alan E. Kimball

“Dr. Freeman has given me more than a straight leg; he has changed my life. I am now only 23 years old and have so much time to do all the things that I enjoy that I was not able to do before. I really could not have asked for a better doctor. With his thorough explanations and sociable personality he made this potentially bad experience into something that will be a wonderful memory. He loves his work and you can certainly tell. I hope that I won't have to see Dr. Freeman for a very long time, but I would absolutely return to his care if ever it was needed. He is a true blessing.”- Katy Holland

“Dr. Freeman is a wonderful and caring doctor. He gave me two great knees, and today I’m moving more freely and without pain. I would go to him again in a heartbeat.”- Marion Huffaker
