Your joints are involved in almost every activity you do. Movements such as walking, bending and turning require the use of your hip and knee joints. When your hip becomes diseased or injured, the resulting pain can severely limit your ability to move and work. Osteoarthritis (OA) is sometimes called degenerative arthritis because it is a "wearing out" condition involving the breakdown of cartilage and bones.
We understand that making sure you know what to expect from your joint replacement experience is important to you. As you are reading through this material, if you have additional questions please reach out to us to discuss. Each patient is unique, and can experience joint pain for different reasons.
Orthopedic surgeons perform total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) to treat severe shoulder pain and lack of motion. During TSA surgery, the surgeon replaces diseased and injured joint components with medical-grade implants designed to appear similar to our normal, healthy shoulder joint. The four important soft tissue stabilizers of the shoulder (often referred to as the rotator cuff) must be functioning well to support the TSA procedure.
Your doctor may recommend arthroscopic surgery to correct chondromalacia of the patella, an ACL tear or a meniscus tear. Learning more about the types of knee surgery will help you understand why the specialist recommends it, what the procedure involves, and the results you may expect.
In addition to the various types of other knee surgeries, Dr. Chronister specializes in arthroscopic surgery to correct an ACL tear, meniscus tear, or chondromalacia of the patella.

To get a better idea of why your wrist hurts, take a look at how it works. Your wrist moves in many ways and helps provide the hand with very finely detailed movements: it flexes and extends, it turns out and turns in, and even moves in a circle. When they're working well, you don't think about the eight carpal bones of your upper hand, the two bones of your forearm, or all the soft tissue helping them work well together at the wrist.

Dr Chronister has been my orthopedic physician for about 5-6 years now. As a Nurse of 30 years i find he is very professional! He has good bedside manners. He returns calls promptly. He has done both of my knee replacements! He sets up home health services before the procedure so you can start therapy right away. He makes sure your pain is well controlled after surgery. He is compassionate towards his clients. He listens to what u have to say. I will never change doctors! I want to Thank You for all you have done and all you continue to do. Keep doing what you are doing!

Sherry is a really rude and condescending and is not helpful. Had a surgery scheduled for a set date and asked for time off from work only to learn that Sherry had changed the date stating that we did it confirm the date which we did. I asked to be transferred to her manager or if she could provide and email and she would only provide me with the first name of her manager and then transferred me to a voice mail box so I could leave a message. We are thinking twice about having a procedure . This is a bad reflection on the practice.

I left the military in 2006 but still consider myself generally fit. A series of falls focused on my right arm and shoulder and the continuous pain led me to search for an orthopedic surgeon. I found Dr Chronister after searching for a top rated surgeon. Based upon his ratings I scheduled a visit. From the first time I met him I felt at ease. His approach is to recommend the right course of treatment based upon the needs and lifestyle of his patient. Ultimately I needed surgery to ensure that my lifestyle was restored to where it was prior to my injuries. Dr Chronister did a fantastic job prepping
