Dr. Michael R. Bisogno is a board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon specializing in the treatment of hip and knee arthritis as well as painful existing hip and knee replacements.

If the patient and Dr. Bisogno feel surgery is indicated, multiple approaches and technologies can be utilized to create a patient-specific treatment plan. Dr. Bisogno is trained in minimally invasive direct anterior, posterior, and lateral approaches for hip replacements. Depending on patient's needs, knee arthroscopy, partial knee replacements, or total knee replacements can be employed to ensure a rapid and complete recovery. He is also skilled in the latest technologies, including the use of robotics and computer navigation for both hip and knee replacements, tools to potentially help ensure accurate implant placement. With a wide range of skills and techniques at his disposal, Dr. Bisogno can achieve optimal outcomes for every unique patient.
