The Central Maine Orthopaedics Total Joint Replacement Program is a highly regarded regional program for arthritis surgery.

Jeff Bush, M.D., the program director, is a progressive orthopaedic surgeon specializing in primary and revision hip and knee replacement, as well as hip and knee arthroscopy.

In addition to hip and knee replacement, CMO surgeons are trained in hip resurfacing, partial knee replacement, computer-assisted surgery, arthroscopic surgery, trauma, and general orthopaedics.

Shoulder replacement surgery, a subspecialty of orthopaedics, has progressed to include surgical techniques that allow the treatment of patients with conditions that previously had no satisfactory surgical solution. These conditions include instability, pseudoparalysis, facture management, and revising previous failed surgery for arthritis.
