Arthroscopic & Joint Replacement Surgery
Advanced Solutions for Joint Pain, Injury, and Degeneration
Joint pain can affect everything—your ability to walk, work, exercise, and even sleep. When conservative treatments like physical therapy and medications no longer provide relief, arthroscopic surgery or joint replacement may be the most effective way to restore your quality of life.
At Dr. David Buzas’ practice, we specialize in modern, minimally invasive surgical techniques that prioritize precision, faster recovery, and lasting outcomes. Whether you’re dealing with chronic arthritis, an old sports injury, or advanced joint degeneration, our approach is designed to help you get back to your life with reduced pain and improved mobility.
What Is Arthroscopic Surgery?
Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems through small incisions. A tiny camera (arthroscope) is inserted into the joint, allowing Dr. Buzas to view the inside of the joint in high definition. Through additional small incisions, surgical instruments are inserted to perform repairs.
This technique is commonly used for:
Cartilage injuries
Ligament tears (e.g., ACL or rotator cuff)
Labral tears in the shoulder or hip
Joint inflammation (synovitis)
Loose bone or cartilage fragments
Meniscus tears in the knee
What Is Joint Replacement Surgery?
When a joint is severely damaged—typically by arthritis or trauma—and no longer responds to non-surgical treatment, joint replacement may be recommended. In this procedure, the damaged or diseased parts of a joint are removed and replaced with high-quality, medical-grade prosthetic components designed to mimic the function of a healthy joint.
There are two main types of joint replacement surgery:
Partial Joint Replacement: Ideal when damage is localized to a single area of the joint, preserving healthy bone and tissue.
Total Joint Replacement: Required when the entire joint is affected, offering complete restoration of function and alignment.
Joint replacements are most commonly performed on:
Knees
Hips
Shoulders
In select cases, joint replacement can also be performed on smaller joints such as ankles and elbows.
Conditions That May Require Surgery
Not every joint condition requires surgery, but when symptoms are severe and persistent, it may be the best path forward. Some of the most common conditions treated with arthroscopic or joint replacement procedures include:
Osteoarthritis – The most common reason for joint replacement; caused by cartilage degeneration over time.
Rheumatoid arthritis – An autoimmune condition that inflames and destroys joint tissues.
Post-traumatic arthritis – Damage from previous fractures or injuries that lead to long-term joint deterioration.
Rotator cuff tears – When non-surgical options fail, surgery can restore shoulder function.
Meniscus or labral tears – Common among athletes and active individuals, especially in the knee and hip.
Joint instability – Due to ligament laxity or repeated injuries.
