Surgeon Profile

Hip and knee replacement care with Adam D. Land, MD

Care focus

Dr. Land focuses on direct anterior hip replacement, total knee replacement, partial knee replacement, revision hip replacement, and revision knee replacement. A consultation is typically used to review symptoms, prior treatment, imaging, activity goals, medical history, and the amount of support a patient will have during recovery. The goal is to match the treatment plan to the patient rather than forcing every hip or knee problem into the same pathway.

Conditions evaluated

Hip or knee arthritis that limits walking, stairs, work, sleep, exercise, or daily routines.
Symptoms that have not improved enough with nonsurgical treatment such as therapy, injections, medication, or activity changes.
Knee arthritis, knee alignment concerns, partial-versus-total knee questions, and expectations after knee replacement.
Persistent pain, stiffness, instability, loosening, wear, or other concerns after a previous hip or knee replacement.

What to expect at your visit

Your visit is used to connect symptoms, imaging, prior treatment, medical history, and patient goals before deciding whether continued nonsurgical care, joint replacement, revision evaluation, or recovery planning makes sense.
