Hip & Knee Reconstruction

Dr. LaVelle is a Board-Certified Orthopaedic Surgeon, specializing in hip and knee replacement. He completed his Adult Reconstruction Fellowship at the world-renowned Columbia University Medical Center in New York and his residency at the University of Miami and Jackson Memorial Hospital.

Total HipReplacement

Total hip replacement is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged or arthritic hip joint with a prosthetic implant. It relieves pain, improves mobility, and restores quality of life. Commonly performed for conditions like osteoarthritis or hip fractures, the procedure utilizes advanced techniques for faster recovery and long-lasting results.

Total KneeReplacement

Total knee replacement, also called total knee arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure in which the worn out or damaged surfaces of the knee joint are removed and replaced with an artificial prosthesis.

Revision KneeReplacement

Revision knee replacement surgery involves replacing part or all of your previous knee prosthesis with a new prosthesis. Although total knee replacement surgery is often successful, failure is sometimes possible due to various reasons and patients may require revision surgery. Dr. LaVelle has significant training and experience with complicated knee replacement surgery and can optimize the revision procedure for better outcomes.

Revision HipReplacement

During total hip replacement, the damaged cartilage and bone are removed from the hip joint and replaced with artificial components. At times, hip replacement implants can wear out for various reasons and may need to be replaced with the help of a surgical procedure known as revision hip replacement surgery.

What Our Patients Are Saying

Dr. LaVelle is a skilled surgeon with a wonderful bedside manner! He listens to his patients intently and shows genuine care and compassion. His entire staff is friendly and helpful. We can’t say enough wonderful things about his PA, Simone or his x-ray technician….the front desk people are warm and friendly too! I highly recommend...
Met Dr. LaVelle in the hospital after being admitted from the ER. I had broken my hip in a fall and he inserted screws the next day. I was extremely impressed with him, he spent quite a bit of time with me explaining exactly what had happened and what he was going to do in surgery. He has been a very warm and caring Dr.. I hit the jackpot with him....
Everything I look for in a Doctor.
Patient, great bedside manner and of course knowledgeable. Very happy that he performed my partial knee replacement.
The office is also extremely friendly.
