Expanding Our Tradition of Excellence in Orthopedic Care

Michael A. Mont, M.D., serves as co-director of the Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics, and the Center for Joint Preservation and Replacement. Under his leadership, Sinai Hospital is breaking new ground in the area of hip preservation and replacement techniques.

Treatment for a Wide Range of Orthopedic Conditions

Dr. Mont specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of joint pain in teens and adults due to:

• Joint degeneration
• Complex bone and joint disorders
• Avascular necrosis
• Hip, knee, shoulder and ankle injuries

Delivering Innovative Solutions

Although Dr. Mont has performed thousands of joint replacements, he has extensive specialty training in the surgical treatment of complex bone disorders, including secondary or revision joint replacement surgery and infected joints. Much of his hands-on experience was received at The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions. Dr. Mont started at Johns Hopkins in 1989 and was confronted with many teenagers who had avascular necrosis, a bone disease that leads to joint destruction. Rather than performing total hip replacements in these young patients, he became dedicated to trying to save these joints by developing innovative new bone grafting techniques and other procedures.

In addition to being a world expert on preserving joints in patients with avascular necrosis, Dr. Mont performs the most difficult hip and knee replacements. He has become known as the reconstructive surgeon of last resort as he is sent cases from around the country and world that other surgeons are reluctant to attempt.

Dr. Mont has been instrumental in bringing a revolutionary hip replacement alternative, called Metal on Metal resurfacing, to the United States. This alternative procedure offers younger patients several advantages over the traditional total hip replacement including bone preservation, greater range of motion, reduced risk of dislocation, a more natural feeling joint and normal gait (walking) characteristics.

He is presently working on a new minimally invasive approach for total knee replacement.

Achieving the Highest Quality of Life with the Least Risk

Dr. Mont has been instrumental in bringing new joint replacement technology to the United States.
