Orthopaedic treatments available

Treatment of osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is caused by excessive pressure on the cartilage that enables the two bones in a joint to slide against one another. This causes the joint to become stiff and painful.

Hip replacement

Usually used to repair a worn joint, which may be the result of osteoarthritis or injury, a total hip replacement involves replacing the 2 joint surfaces whose cartilage is worn.

Knee replacement

As with hips, knees are susceptible to arthritis or trauma, and a knee replacement may be necessary to alleviate pain and restore mobility.

Shoulder replacement

As with the hip and knee, a shoulder replacement is indicated when the joint has become too painful due to osteoarthritis or damage. The shoulder can be more complicated on account of the various muscles and tendons that make up the ‘rotator cuff’, which stabilises the shoulder.

Orthopaedic specialists at Provence Surgery

Lead by Professor Jean-Noël Argenson, the team of surgeons at Provence Surgery is committed to provide you with the best management and cutting-edge techniques. Three senior lower limb surgeons offer hip and knee replacement surgery, conservative surgery, arthroscopic meniscal and ligament repair surgery of the knee and hip. In addition, two shoulder surgeons specialise in prosthetic and arthroscopic shoulder surgery.
