The Joint Preservation Center at 黑料福利社 Langone Orthopedic Center is dedicated to advancing surgical and non-surgical treatments of joint-related problems and providing personalized approaches to prolong the health of your joints.
Recognition
U.S. News & World Report鈥檚 鈥淏est Hospitals鈥 ranks 黑料福利社 Langone among the top 5 hospitals in the nation for orthopedics and rehabilitation and top 10 in the U.S. for rheumatology.
Our goal is to reduce your symptoms, restore or maintain joint function, and delay progression of joint deterioration in active people and those who want to explore less-invasive alternatives to joint replacement.
At the Joint Preservation Center, we closely monitor your condition throughout the course of treatment. Careful monitoring of your progress is vital to pinpointing the right treatment and, if necessary, determining next steps in the treatment process.
Whether you are considering anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, a cartilage regrowth procedure, or joint replacement, our physicians discuss surgical and nonsurgical options with you, and our recommendations may change as we follow you over time.
We offer a combination of diagnostic and treatment approaches, including the following:
Our experts include specialists from sports medicine and arthroscopic surgery, rheumatology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, radiology, and physical therapy.
At the Joint Preservation Center, we perform clinical studies customizing arthritis care for each patient. We strive to create a lifelong initiative for managing traumatic, pre-arthritic and arthritic conditions, and maintaining joint function in active individuals, regardless of age.
To accomplish this, we are using advanced imaging techniques, biomarkers, and therapies intended to modify the disease process. Our goal is to develop tools for identifying the most appropriate treatment for individual patients at each stage of joint disease. By improving cartilage and arthritis treatment one patient at a time, we aim to reduce the overall medical and socioeconomic burden of arthritis.
Currently, more than 100 ongoing clinical studies are evaluating new approaches to the treatment of musculoskeletal disease. Collaborations across specialties enable physical therapy techniques, medications, injectable agents, and new surgical techniques to be compared, and properly used to address each patient鈥檚 specific problem.
Biomarkers are being studied to determine an individual patient鈥檚 risk of disease progression, to identify the most appropriate treatment for each patient鈥檚 specific problem, and to monitor response to treatment. Clinically promising biomarkers have been found in blood, from advanced MRI scans, and from synovial fluid鈥攖he fluid that lubricates and cushions joints.
Our researchers have also implemented internet-based systems to foster better communication between patients and clinicians, and as tools to study the comparative effectiveness of alternative treatment strategies.
