Dr. Harris

Nonoperative Treatment

Surgery is not the first step for most patients. Activity changes, physical therapy, medication, and injections come first, and many patients do well without an operation.

Hip & Knee Replacement

A hip or knee replacement is an elective operation. This section covers what each procedure involves, how the decision is made for an individual patient’s problem, and what recovery looks like.

Revision Joint Replacement

A joint replacement can wear, loosen, or become infected years after it was done. Revision surgery rebuilds these hips and knees, including implants placed by other surgeons.

Robotic-Assisted Surgery

Robotic assistance and modern computer navigation systems are routinely used in the operating room along with modern surgical techniques.

Every plan starts with a personal examination and review of your X-rays or MRI

Dr. Harris cares for patients with arthritis and other conditions of the hip and knee, from first-time joint replacement to complex revision surgery. His practice centers on anterior approach hip replacement, robotic-assisted knee replacement, and the revision procedures needed when earlier implants wear, loosen, or fail.
