ORTHOARKANSAS’S JOINT REPLACEMENT TEAM EXPANDS WITH NEW ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON, DR. LOUIS JONES

Little Rock, Ark. (Jan. 29, 2024) – Over a million U.S. patients undergo joint replacement surgery annually in the United States, which continues to grow as the population ages. With various technological advancements refining these procedures, joint replacement surgery is one of the safest and most reliable treatments in any area of medicine, often providing lifelong relief.

OrthoArkansas is proud to announce the addition of Louis B. Jones, M.D., a highly respected joint replacement surgeon, to its esteemed team of orthopedic specialists. Dr. Jones brings a wealth of expertise and experience in joint replacement procedures, further solidifying OrthoArkansas’s commitment to providing the community with top-tier orthopedic care.

Jones is particularly interested in evolving technologies, including robotics and computer navigation.  He utilizes both anterior and posterior-based approaches for total hip arthroplasty.  He also incorporates various strategies to optimize success for total knee arthroplasty, including kinematic alignment, which strives to personalize the placement of the implant to recreate your native knee shape and balance.  He has extensive experience utilizing mega prostheses and custom implants during salvage hip and knee operations.

He is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon who is fellowship-trained in hip and knee replacement surgery.  A Mississippi native, he completed his medical degree and orthopedic surgery residency training at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. Jones completed a hip and knee reconstructive surgery fellowship at Mississippi Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Center.

His clinical focus is on all aspects of hip and knee replacements, including non-operative management, primary hip and knee replacements, revision surgery, management of prosthetic joint infections, and salvage operations for the hip and knee after multiple failed replacement operations.  

“My goal is to meet you wherever you are on your journey to health,” said Jones. “Together, we can learn exactly what is wrong, share information on how we can make improvements, and implement a plan to get you where you want to be,” he said.

Patients needing joint replacement surgery can now schedule consultations and procedures with Dr. Louis Jones at OrthoArkansas by calling 501-500-3500 or visiting orthoarkansas.com.
