Geriatrics addresses the health needs of older adults, focusing on frailty, dementia, falls, and chronic disease management.

The treatment of geriatric arthritis has evolved from simple pain management to a sophisticated “Joint Preservation” strategy. In the elderly, the goal of care is twofold: to alleviate chronic discomfort and to maximize functional independence. We recognize that an 80-year-old’s treatment goals such as walking comfortably in a park differ from those of a younger athlete. Therefore, our “Treatment and Care” protocols are built on a multimodal foundation, combining physical rehabilitation, biological interventions, and, when necessary, precision surgery to ensure the “Golden Years” remain active.
We employ a progressive treatment ladder. We start with the least invasive methods, allowing the body’s natural mechanics to stabilize with external support and strengthening. In the geriatric context, we are particularly cautious with medication, prioritizing “localized” treatments over systemic drugs to avoid side effects on the heart, kidneys, or stomach. Every treatment plan is a living document, adjusted regularly based on the patient’s feedback and functional progress.
The answer to “Will I need a treatment for my Arthritis?” is nearly always yes. All forms of arthritis require management, even the mildest cases, to prevent progression and reduce pain. Treatment methods range widely depending on the type of arthritis you have.
For degenerative arthritis (Osteoarthritis), treatment focuses on pain relief and protecting the joint. For inflammatory arthritis (Rheumatoid Arthritis), treatment must be aggressive to stop the immune system from causing irreversible damage to the joint lining and bone.
When conservative measures no longer sustain a patient’s quality of life, surgical intervention becomes a powerful tool for restoration. Modern geriatric surgery is no longer “high risk”; advanced anesthesia and minimally invasive techniques have made joint replacements safer and more effective for patients even in their 80s and 90s. The decision to operate is based on “Functional Age” rather than “Chronological Age.”
We utilize Robotic-Assisted Surgery for Total Hip and Knee Replacements. This technology allows for the “perfect fit” of a prosthetic, tailored to the patient’s unique anatomy, which leads to a more natural feeling and a longer-lasting joint. Post-operative care is just as critical as the surgery itself; our “Fast-Track” recovery protocols encourage patients to stand and walk within hours of their procedure to prevent complications like blood clots or pneumonia.
Surgery is reserved for cases where joint damage is severe and causing debilitating pain or loss of function. Surgical interventions are a last resort after medical treatments have failed.
Total joint replacement surgery is the most common surgical intervention. It is highly effective for advanced Osteoarthritis.
Less extensive surgeries are performed to repair damaged tissue or stabilize a joint.
Rehabilitation is a mandatory part of Arthritis Management, both before and after surgery. Programs focus on increasing strength and flexibility around the joints.
How long does Arthritis treatment take? Treatment is continuous and lifelong for chronic conditions.

Age is rarely the deciding factor. We evaluate your heart health, lung capacity, and overall strength. Many 85-year-olds undergo successful surgery and return to walking much better than before
No, they typically provide relief for 6 months to a year. They are repeatable and are an excellent way to “buy time” before considering surgery.
We use “Multimodal Pain Management,” including nerve blocks and localized numbing during surgery, so most patients find the post-op pain much more manageable than their old “arthritic pain.”
With today’s materials and robotic precision, most hip and knee replacements are expected to last 20 to 25 years, often outlasting the patient’s needs.
That is the goal! All our treatments are designed to get you back to the low-impact activities you love, with less pain and more stability.
