Summary

• Joseph Mitchell, MD, is an orthopedic surgeon providing care to adults with advanced degenerative disorders of the hips and knees, including osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis, and avascular necrosis.
  
  Dr. Mitchell performs both primary and revision hip and knee replacements. He has experience in all modern surgical techniques, including computer-assisted navigation, robotic-assisted surgeries, and patient-specific (custom) instrumentation.
  
  His forte is direct anterior hip replacement, a technically challenging procedure that speeds up patient recovery times and is associated with a lower risk of dislocation. This may be particularly beneficial for patients who plan to return to an active lifestyle following hip replacement. He utilizes the anterior approach almost exclusively for his patients. He prioritizes minimally invasive hip replacement and is able to offer patients more aesthetically appealing bikini incisons.
  
  Dr. Mitchell's approach to care is to manage patients in a stepwise fashion with surgery as a last resort. He says the most rewarding part of his practice is restoring his patients' quality of life and mobility.
