Orthopedic surgeries are covered under health insurance. We have a dedicated team that takes care of all your insurance-related questions as well as provides assured assistance with all the finance procedures. 

Advances in medical technologies including the prosthetic materials used in total and partial hip, knee, elbow and shoulder joints continue to extend the life expectancy of artificial joints. Today's prosthetic devices can last upwards of 15-20 years. Factors that can impact the durability of prosthetics include your activity level, overall health, weight and whether you have arthritis.

Arthroscopic surgery is a type of minimally invasive surgery that requires only small incisions thanks to a device known as an arthroscope. It lets your surgeon see inside the body and view the specific area being worked on during surgery without the need for large incisions.
