About Us: About the Practice
Dr. Yogesh Mittal and staff at The Orthopaedic Center welcome you as a patient. The Orthopaedic Center and Dr. Mittal are dedicated to improving patients' quality of life through orthopaedic excellence and compassionate care.
Dr. Mittal is fellowship-trained in adult hip and knee reconstruction and orthopaedic surgery. He has published several scientific papers related to total joint replacement and has been called upon to train other surgeons on the techniques and benefits of using surgical navigation. Using the latest technology, he strives to provide the right treatment at the right time for each patient. His goal is to empower the patient with the services and education that will assist them in returning to their highest level of function. Dr. Mittal is an advocate of alternate bearing surfaces with associated minimal wear for the active patient with a hip or knee replacement. In knee replacement, Dr. Mittal uses a high-flexion implant system and surgical navigation to facilitate a higher range of motion for the prosthetic environment. With these new techniques and better materials, Dr. Mittal’s goal is to restore the normal activity level of both the young and old patients.
We are pleased to have you as a patient. If you have any questions, always feel free to contact our office and our trained staff will assist you in any way possible.

New Technologies
Hip resurfacing is a new procedure where the femur (top of
the thigh bone) is simply reshaped and "resurfaced" rather than
removed. This allows the
Cormet Hip Resurfacing procedure to
conserve more bone than a traditional total hip replacement,
making it an attractive option for younger and active
osteoarthritis patients.
Computer-Assisted Surgery is a giant step forward in joint replacement. Advanced computer-assisted surgical monitoring with the Stryker Navigation System helps your surgeon more precisely align your hip or knee implant with computer imaging. The Stryker Navigation System gives your surgeon 3-D imaging of your leg during surgery which may result in more exact placement of the implants.
