Why Choose Us

Augusta University Health orthopaedic surgeons specialize in partial and total joint replacement. If you have constant pain in your knees, hips, or shoulders, or are suffering with complications from a prior joint replacement, come see us for a consultation. We also see patients who have been turned away from other surgical centers that aren't able to perform the complex replacement procedures we can.

Patients come to AU Health because our team practices evidence-based surgical care. We use the latest technologies, proven treatment strategies, and highest levels of safety to give you the excellent outcomes you desire.

Joint Surgeries

Joint replacement surgery is for patients who have had a traumatic injury, osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis, or osteonecrosis. Procedures include:

  • Hip replacement: Including anterior hip replacement, posterior hip replacement, hip revision surgery,  using various implant designs and bearing surfaces to improve longevity and stability of the hip.
  • Knee replacement: We provide total knee replacement and knee revision surgeries. We also do partial knee replacements that remove and replace the cartilage in just the damaged section of the knee.
  • Shoulder replacement: We determine which type of shoulder replacement will work best for the problem you are having, whether it is a partial shoulder replacement, a standard total replacement, or a reverse replacement.  We perform many revision shoulder replacements as well as replacements where the joint needs to be completely reconstructed due to a fracture or other injury.
