Smaller, hidden scar. Minimal muscle trauma. Faster recovery. That’s the power of the bikini incision for hip replacement.

Using an anterior approach, this technique goes between muscles instead of cutting them—resulting in less pain, less downtime, and a scar that’s both lower and easier to conceal.
It’s a patient-favorite for a reason.

If you need an appointment to discuss a hip replacement and would like to learn more about the bikini incision, give us a call. 440-709-1945

Grateful for the trust my patients place in me. It’s an honor to help them get back to doing what they love.

Every patient deserves to feel heard, informed, and confident in their care. That’s why I take the time to listen, explain, and do things the right way.

When patients come in for hip replacement, the goal is simple: get back on your feet faster, with less pain and a smaller scar.

How do we make that happen? By using the AMIS technique and a special “bikini” incision, a minimally invasive approach that avoids cutting major muscles, promotes quicker recovery, and leaves a scar that’s lower and more discreet.

It’s a better and more innovative approach to hip surgery that puts healing — and you — first. Learn more at clevelandhipandknee.com

Scrubbing in for today’s total knee replacement using the Subvastus approach.

Unlike the standard technique, this method lets me access the joint without cutting any muscle or tendon. The result — faster recovery, less pain, and quicker mobilization for my patients.

Every successful joint replacement starts long before the first incision.

When I’m preparing for surgery, I focus on the small details — because they matter. Patient positioning, alignment, and precision at every step all play a role in how well someone moves and feels after surgery.

In the OR, it’s not just about performing the procedure — it’s about creating the best possible outcome for all of my patients.

🪑 Tight hips? It might be your chair’s fault.

We sit a lot—at our desks, in the car, on the couch. Over time, all that sitting shortens and weakens our hip flexors, which can lead to pain, poor posture, and even limit mobility. 😣

But here’s the good news:
Before jumping straight to an orthopedic surgeon, try focusing on hip flexor strength and flexibility. Sometimes, consistent movement and targeted exercises can make a real difference. 🏃‍♀️💪

Still hurting after stretching and strengthening? That’s your cue to book an appointment with a specialist at 440-709-1945.

👉 Start with your hips. Save yourself a trip (for now).

🦴 When to Bring in Reinforcements: Joint Health Matters 🩺

Most minor joint aches can be managed with self-care, but some signals are your body’s way of asking for backup. Here's when it's time to consult a professional:

🔹 Pain that wakes you up at night – a potential sign of deeper inflammation or tissue damage.
🔹 Visible swelling, redness, or warmth – indicators of active inflammation that may need intervention.
🔹 Pain that limits your daily activities or sticks around for more than 2 weeks – don’t wait, get it checked.

👟 Better yet? Prevent problems before they start.

✅ Move your joints through their full range of motion—movement is nourishment.
✅ Strengthen surrounding muscles to build support and protect vulnerable areas.
✅ Practice proper mechanics in everyday life—how you move matters.

That little twinge? It's not just an annoyance. It’s your body talking. Listen early. Act wisely. Keep your joints in the game for the long haul. 💪

If pain becomes to severe, give one of our orthopedic experts a call at 440-709-1945.

Knee pain can present in various forms depending on its underlying cause and severity. It may manifest as pinching, clicking, or catching sensations, often resulting from an injury and potentially causing significant discomfort.
