Life is Full Motion
No matter what your age, life is full motion! For a child running on a playground, a college student playing sports, or for anyone who loves to take a walk, throw a ball, ride a bike, or just move to the beat of the music, mobility is the key to life.
But when simple acts become painful- when walking downstairs or reaching for a lamp switch triggers severe joint pain, it may be time to speak with a joint replacement specialist.
O-N-S fellowship-trained experts in joint replacement have been restoring mobility to patients for over 25 years. They were innovators in the field and today they lead the way with newer and better techniques like muscle sparing surgeries, computer-assisted knee replacement and reverse shoulder replacement for patients who’ve been told they’re not a candidate for shoulder replacement.
Surgeries are performed at the Greenwich Hospital Center for Joint Replacement, where patients receive individualized attention beginning with preparation for surgery and continuing all the way through their recovery. Greenwich Hospital is Certified by the Joint Commission as one of the best programs in the country, a recognition earned for their commitment to excellence and emphasis on patient communication and involvement, with personal guidance provided by specially trained staff.
Don’t let chronic joint pain keep you from enjoying the best moments in life. If you’ve been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in the hip, knee, shoulder, talk to one of our experts in Shoulder, Hip or Knee Replacement.

Approximately 1.07 million joint replacement procedures are performed each year in America. Without the surgeries, most of these men and women would be severely impaired, dependent upon walkers, canes and wheelchairs to get around. Hip, knee and shoulder replacement procedures have had a profound impact on quality of life for millions of people.
Once performed primarily on patients over 65, today many surgeries are done in younger adults whose active lifestyles have promoted an early onset of arthritis symptoms. It is projected that by 2030, more than 570,000 primary total hip replacements and nearly 3.5 million primary total knee replacements will be performed annually in the United States.
ONS is committed to providing excellent orthopaedic and neurosurgical care through integrative knowledge, cooperation among personnel and compassion for our patients. By setting the highest of standards, we can confidently offer patients the best options for the best possible outcomes.
