Knee ArthritisWhat is it?
The knee is composed of three bones, the femur (thigh bone), the tibia (shin bone) and the patella (knee cap). The ends of these bones that move about each other have a layer of cartilage, which forms the surface of the joint. In arthritis the cartilage layer is progressively destroyed by mechanical factors and inflammation.

Hip ArthritisWhat is it?
The hip is composed of two bones, the head of the femur (ball on top of thigh bone) and the acetabulum (socket) that is a portion of the pelvis. The ends of these bones that move about each other have a layer of cartilage, which forms the surface of the joint. In arthritis the cartilage layer is progressively destroyed by mechanical factors and inflammation.

FracturesOverview
Fracture treatment varies depending on severity, displacement and location. Some fractures will be best managed with immobilization like a cast or splint; however, some will require surgical intervention to better align the bone and place implants if needed.
Patients will usually experience pain and may sometimes hear an audible “snap” or “pop”. This may be accompanied by swelling and redness around the site of injury. If you suspect you have an injury, then seek care as soon as possible.

"I am 69 years old and I have Osteoarthritis in both of my knees as well as in my hands. I was over trying everything to help make my pain and discomfort better. I called Dr. Jimenez and set up a visit to discuss the surgery. That was on August 13th and my surgery was scheduled for September 13th. This was the best decision I made and I plan on getting my right knee done next year. I cannot tell you how awesome Dr. Jimenez is. He walks you thru step by step the process and what to expect. He follows you thru all your PT and to assure you're making great progress. He said he doesn't like his patients to be in pain and I never was."

"My experience I had with Dr. Christopher Jimenez was excellent! I have seen many orthopedic surgeons over the years and Dr Jimenez was at the top of my list in every aspect. He is a highly skilled surgeon with an incredible bed side manner and was genuinely concerned about me as a patient. I am 12 weeks out from Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty and am feeling better than I have felt in years. I would highly recommend Dr Jimenez and I thank him for giving me a chance to enjoy life with my beautiful new legs! His office staff was excellent as well."

"Am soooo happy with my bilateral knee arthroplasty done by Dr. Jimenez! I was up on my feet the afternoon of surgery, discharged after one night, and walked one mile 10 days post-op. Followed his orders, including lots of icing and leg pumps. Needed prescription pain meds for only 4 days! Have been diligent with post-op physical therapy (critical!!), but as a long time exercise instructor, I wanted to get back to my active lifestyle as soon as possible. My spin class welcomed me back at 6 weeks!!! "

"Dr. Jimenez is an exceptional surgeon and an incredible person. He and his team go above and beyond for his patients. Dr. Jimenez replaced both my hips August 2018. Recovery was quick thanks to the surgical approach and Dr. Jimenez's expert skill. He is a real-life super hero!"

"It is a pleasure to highly recommend Christopher Jimenez as an excellent surgeon for knee arthroplasty. My experience could not have been better. He is very pleased with my progress and recovery as am I. My surgery was on September 6th, 2017. I followed his instructions for pre and post surgery. I have enjoyed the physical therapy. They have been very encouraging and I continue to also do exercises at home five times a week at home. That is the key! Dr. Jimenez does the whole procedure including opening up for the knee arthroplasty and closing. He even removed the staples himself. He is very available for questions you might have."
