Joint Replacement Surgery (Hip, Knee, and Shoulder)

Joint replacement surgery is recommended when a joint becomes damaged by arthritis, injury, or wear-and-tear and no longer responds to conservative treatments. At the Bone and Joint Clinic of Hammond, we evaluate patients for:

  • Total Hip Replacement
  • Total Knee Replacement
  • Total Shoulder Replacement

Using X-rays and MRIs, we assess the extent of joint damage and determine if you're a candidate for surgery. We’ll guide you through every step—from diagnostics to pre-surgical clearance and post-operative planning.

Hand and Foot Surgery

Injuries or chronic conditions in the hands and feet can interfere with everyday life. We provide evaluation and surgical planning for:

  • Tendon and Ligament Injuries
  • Fractures or Dislocations
  • Carpal Tunnel Release
  • Surgical Bunion Correction

Dr. Chiasson carefully reviews your imaging and symptoms to create a personalized treatment path focused on pain relief and improved function.

Carpal Tunnel Release

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is caused by compression of the median nerve in the wrist, leading to numbness, tingling, or weakness in the hand. If bracing or physical therapy hasn’t helped, carpal tunnel release may be necessary.

This procedure involves relieving pressure on the nerve by cutting the ligament that forms the top of the carpal tunnel. Recovery is typically quick, and most patients experience significant relief from symptoms.

Bunion Correction (Bunionectomy)

A bunion is a painful bony bump at the base of the big toe, often caused by improper footwear, genetics, or arthritis. When conservative measures like orthotics fail, a bunionectomy may be the best option.

This procedure realigns the joint and removes the excess bone, relieving pain and improving foot function. We evaluate your foot through physical exam and imaging to determine the right surgical plan for your needs.

Orthopedic Trauma & Fracture Management

Accidents, falls, and sports injuries can cause complex fractures and joint trauma. We evaluate and coordinate care for:

  • Broken Bones
  • Dislocations
  • Ligament Injuries
  • Post-traumatic Joint Instability

Dr. Chiasson uses X-rays and MRIs to understand the injury and plan appropriate surgical intervention, often in coordination with hospital-based care.

Arthroscopy (Shoulder & Knee)

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive technique used to diagnose and treat problems inside the joint using a small camera and tools. It’s commonly used for:

  • Torn Cartilage (Meniscus)
  • Loose Bone Fragments
  • Ligament Repairs
  • Inflammation or Swelling

Shoulder and knee arthroscopy often results in less pain, faster recovery, and smaller incisions than traditional surgery.

Hand, Knee, and Rotator Cuff Repair

For patients with advanced joint damage or severe arthritis, joint replacement may extend beyond large joints. We provide surgical evaluations for:

  • Rotator Cuff Repair
  • ACL Reconstruction
  • Hand Joint Reconstruction

These procedures restore mobility and reduce chronic pain when less invasive methods are no longer effective.
