Knee and Shoulder Reconstruction at Iron Mountain Orthopaedic Institute
Knee and shoulder joints take the most abuse over a lifetime of movement. Dr. Ayzenberg specializes in both, and reconstruction of these joints makes up a significant part of the work at Iron Mountain Orthopaedic Institute. Damage from injury, arthritis, or chronic overuse can reach a point where the joint simply can't heal on its own.
Reconstruction rebuilds that joint stability and restores function that pain or structural damage has taken away. Patients who've had limited mobility for months or years are often surprised by how much they get back after a well-executed reconstruction and a committed recovery period.
Regenerative Treatments Alongside Joint Reconstruction
Not every case requires full reconstruction right away. Dr. Ayzenberg also offers regenerative treatments like PRP therapy and stem cell therapy, which work well for patients in earlier stages of joint damage. These treatments are worth exploring before committing to a surgical procedure, and Dr. Ayzenberg will tell you honestly when they're a good fit and when they're not.
For patients who do need reconstruction, regenerative approaches can sometimes support recovery after surgery. If you're curious about how these treatments fit alongside surgical options, that conversation happens at your consultation.
