Our physicians and surgeons use state-of-the-art surgical and nonsurgical techniques to provide advanced treatments for bone and joint disorders, including minimally invasive procedures to greatly reduce orthopedic surgery recovery times, cementless systems that allow full weight bearing immediately after surgery, and metal-on-metal liners that mean longer wear.

The research team seeks to perfect the art of joint replacement by focusing on the development of new technology and techniques to enhance healing. In the past decade, the Center has contributed to more than ten major advancements in adult orthopedic reconstructive surgery. Because of the Center’s reputation, physicians and surgeons from all over the world visit the Center to learn about bone and joint replacement techniques and prosthetic devices. Patients benefit from the direct connection to the leading-edge research being conducted at the Center. The Center attracts patients from both near and far, many with the means to go anywhere for their diagnosis and treatment, but who choose to come to Weiss.
