Dr. Choo utilizes the (direct) anterior approach for hip replacement surgery. This is performed through a small anterior incision. Patients can bear full weight immediately after surgery, have no range of motion restrictions, and many require no opioid medications after discharge.

Patients with severe knee pain and arthritis can see significant improvement after knee replacement surgery. Dr. Choo is specialized in partial and total knee replacement surgeries, using robotic and computer-assisted technology and modern cementless implants.

Patients who are healthy and motivated are candidates for same-day discharge. This allows patients to recover in the comfort of their own home. Muscle-sparing techniques and multimodal pain strategies allow for early rehabilitation in the home setting.

While most knee and hip replacements are successful, a small percentage may fail due to loosening, instability or infection. Dr. Choo is fellowship-trained in revision techniques for failed total hip and knee replacements.
