Bad joints can lower your quality of life as you struggle to move around every day. NCH Orthopedics: Howard J Kapp MD can help you move easy and reclaim your freedom of movement. Dr. Kapp has 32 years of experience, over which time, he's performed more than 10000 total joint replacements.

He has performed total knee and total hip replacements with a minimally invasive approach that is muscle-sparing. He combines this with improved protocols of pain management to give you a faster and less painful recovery. 

The newer techniques and improved prosthetic devices that Dr. Kapp uses eliminate the need for movement or position restrictions after the surgery, as was required in the past. Most of his patients are discharged after one or two days and require no narcotic or opiate medications. They are also able to drive within three weeks and return to work.
