Welcome to the Connecticut Joint Center

  • Hundreds of patients every year come from all sections of Connecticut, from other states such as NY, NJ, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and even as far away as Germany. We return our patients back to their lives quickly so they can continue to do the things they love, such as running free of pain with the grandchildren, being able to bend down and pick up a golf ball, sailing, or even taking a casual stroll by the seashore.

• Hips

HikeOne of the most significant advancements in total hip replacement is that the procedure can be done with minimally invasive techniques, helping patients recover faster. The goal is simply to minimize the amount of soft tissue damage that occurs when a surgeon reconstructs a hip. In the end, this can lead to the potential for less pain, quicker healing, and shorter recovery time. Minimally invasive hip replacement allows surgeons to implant the traditional hip components through one or two small incisions rather than the traditional 12 to 18 inch incision. A minimally invasive procedure is performed through one 3 to 4-inch incision, known as the mini-incision approach or technique, or the two-incision approach, USING two 1.5 to 2 inch incisions.
