Dr. Joseph E. Alhadeff specializes in primary and revision joint replacement of the shoulder, knee and hip

Joseph E. Alhadeff, M.D. provides care for all types of orthopaedic problems with special expertise in primary and revision joint replacement of the shoulder, knee and hip.  The knee and hip joint are the major weight-bearing joints in the human body. The considerable stress that these joints endure over a lifetime often results in extensive wear of the joint surfaces. These joint surfaces are covered by a spongy soft tissue called cartilage. The cartilage normally serves as a lubricating surface and allows the joint surfaces to glide freely back and forth as one goes about daily activities. When the cartilage wears to the point that it no longer adequately covers the underlying bone, significant pain results with activity.
