Getting you back to the life you love — with less pain, faster recovery, and a team that does this every single day.
We are here to help you on this journey.
Our surgeons pioneered the anterior approach in Georgia — accessing the hip from the front, between muscles, rather than cutting through them. The result: less tissue damage, less pain, and faster recovery.
Traditional knee replacement positions the implant to a "mechanical axis" — a one-size-fits-all approach. Kinematic alignment restores your natural knee geometry, replicating the unique angles and rotation of the knee you were born with.
Patients report the knee "feels like their own" because it moves the way nature intended.
Restored natural ligament tension means deeper flexion and smoother movement.
Less soft tissue disruption means patients get back to their lives faster with fewer restrictions.
From your first consultation to the moment you forget you ever had surgery — every person, every protocol, and every decision at Total Joint Specialists is designed around one thing: getting you back to the life you love.
Sensor-equipped joint replacements that provide real-time data on your recovery and implant performance.
Embedded sensors track performance continuously.
Identify issues before they become complications.
Data-driven rehab protocols tailored to your progress.
