Meet Dr. Alexis Alva, a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon specializing in hip and knee replacements. With a commitment to compassionate care and advanced techniques, she helps patients regain their active lifestyles.
A variety of surgical options are available, including both total procedures and advanced robotic-assisted techniques designed to enhance precision and recovery.
The direct anterior approach and computer-navigated surgery enhance precision and improve outcomes, offering a tailored approach to individual patient needs.
While both men and women benefit from the same hip and knee procedures, women often face unique challenges due to biological, hormonal, and social factors. I am dedicated to offering gender-specific care and addressing these needs to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Menopause-related hormonal changes can accelerate bone loss, increasing the risk of fracture after surgery. I have specialized training in techniques that minimize fracture risk and can effectively treat them should they occur. This includes close monitoring of bone health and using implants suited for patients with lower bone density.
Societal pressures sometimes make women more concerned about visible scarring. I use absorbable materials for closure and employ advanced surgical approaches—especially in hip replacement—that help place incisions in more discreet locations. You can feel confident in both your mobility and the appearance of your surgical scar.
Although women make up 60% of all joint replacements, many delay surgery longer than men. If pain is holding you back from living a full life, I encourage you not to wait. My goal is to provide compassionate, personalized care—so that you can return to your daily activities without prolonged discomfort.
Whether you’re a man or a woman considering joint replacement, I’m here to support you every step of the way. If you struggle with ongoing joint pain or want to explore your surgical options, reach out today. Together, we’ll create a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs, helping you get back to the active life you deserve.
Women face distinct challenges during knee replacement surgeries, influenced by hormonal changes and societal pressures.
