The key to successful joint replacement surgery is choosing the right surgeon, one who listens, has abundant experience and the skills, can choose the best prosthesis and surgical techniques that allow patients to achieve optimal, safe and long-lasting results.
William A. Leone, M.D., FACS, one of the nation’s top orthopedic surgeons, founded The Leone Center for Orthopedic Care at Holy Cross Health in 2009 to provide superb, highly personalized, end-to-end orthopedic care for people with hip and knee conditions. It is where patients go to get consistently excellent care and results.
The unique integration of clinical, surgical and technological expertise, combined with caring, tailored attention from Dr. Leone and his entire staff, has resulted in restored mobility and an improved quality of life for more than 15,000 patients.
“At The Leone Center for Orthopedic Care, my years of experience have shown me how important it is to understand each patient’s goals and concerns about surgery and then aligning the surgeon/patient communication accordingly,” says Dr. Leone. “An informed patient who knows what to expect helps set the stage for superior outcomes with excellent long-term results while minimizing the risk of complications.”
Dr. Leone’s emphasis on preempting and preventing pain after surgery has been a game changer. Patients typically walk just hours after surgery and go home later that day or the next.
As a board certified orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Leone uses muscle sparing hip and knee approaches combined with computer navigation, and kinematic sensors and robotics for knee replacements, along with his own invention, the Pelvic Alignment Level, to help achieve more precise hip implant positioning and leg length during hip replacement surgery.
