Hip Replacement
The hip is one of the most commonly replaced joints. Osteoarthritis, a type of arthritis, is the main reason for hip replacement surgery. Arthritis causes the protective cartilage in the hip joint to wear away, leading to bone on bone rubbing, swelling, and pain. Hip replacement surgery, also called hip arthroplasty, involves removing the damaged portion of the hip and replacing it with artificial implants called prosthetics. These devices are a replacement for the natural joint and allow pain-free movement. Visit us in Dahlonega, Dawsonville, Blairsville or Hiawasee, Georgia.

Hip Resurfacing
Northview Associates offers the same advanced specialty procedures found in larger cities, right here in Dahlonega, GA. Hip resurfacing is a newer procedure used to relieve pain and restore function for select people with arthritis or other hip conditions. Unlike traditional total hip replacement, hip resurfacing does not remove the bones in the joint, but instead resurfaces the bone with smooth metal. Younger active people are the best candidates for hip resurfacing. Call Northview Associates at (706) 864-7904 to schedule your consultation for hip resurfacing and look forward to returning to the activities that you enjoyed before hip pain.

Knee Ligament & Cartilage Repair
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) cross inside the knee joint and help keep it aligned. The ACL and PCL and the ligaments on the inner and outer sides of the knee can be injured during sports that involve abrupt slowing down, landing, twisting or changing directions, body contact, or falls. In many cases, the protective cartilage in the knee joint is injured as well. Treatment of knee ligament and cartilage injuries is very individualized and depends on several factors. Physical therapy and rehabilitation can help restore function for some people. If you need knee ligament reconstruction, feel confident that the orthopedic surgeons at Northview Associates have the advanced training and experience that you can trust, including arthroscopic procedures that can help you get back in the game in the shortest time possible.

Knee Replacement
Knee problems are common and can occur from injury, aging, “wear and tear,” or disease, such as arthritis. Arthritis can cause the protective cartilage located between the bones in the knee joint to wear away. Loss of the protective cartilage can cause painful bone on bone rubbing. For many, knee replacement is the only way to relieve pain, restore motion, and improve quality of life. Knee replacement surgery, also called knee arthroplasty, involves removing the damaged portion of the knee and replacing it with artificial implants called prosthetics. Knee replacement is highly successful for relieving pain and restoring joint function. Have you been considering knee replacement? Call the friendly professionals of
