Hip Replacement Surgery
Hip replacement surgery can be a great option for patients with hip arthritis who have not found relief with nonsurgical treatment. Dr. Riché utilizes the direct anterior approach for the majority of primary hip replacement patients, as this approach is minimally invasive and allows for a much easier recovery. Direct anterior hip replacement surgery allows for less muscle damage, reduced scarring, and less pain after surgery.

Knee Replacement Surgery
Knee replacement surgery can restore mobility for patients whose knee arthritis pain has not improved with nonsurgical treatment. Dr. Riché is among only a few surgeons in the Baton Rouge area who use Conformis knee implants for knee replacement surgery, which are custom- fitted to the patient’s unique anatomy. This allows for more accurate implant placement and fit, which allow for better knee function and patient satisfaction when compared to standard, off-the- shelf knee implants.

SI Joint Fusion
If arthritis or dysfunction of the sacroiliac (SI) joint causes significant pain in the lower back, hip, or pelvis, SI joint fusion may be an effective option in relieving pain. Prior to recommending surgery, Dr. Riché always sends patients for testing to confirm the source of pain, as several conditions can cause similar symptoms. If the SI joint is the source of pain, Dr. Riché uses minimally invasive techniques for SI joint fusion to make recovery easier on patients and reduce the risk of postoperative complications.
