Joint replacement
Hip and knee replacement
For patients with arthritis, bone-on-bone pain, trouble walking, sleep disruption, anterior hip questions, partial knee questions, robotic planning questions, and recovery concerns.
Orthopedic services in Hawaii
Find the right path for your hip, knee, injury, injection, or implant problem.
You do not need to know the exact procedure before you call. Tell us what hurts, what changed, what you have already tried, and what you want back. Dr. Morton helps turn that into a diagnosis and a practical plan.
Which sounds most like you?
Start with the situation, not the medical word.
This is the path for regular patients, caregivers, and informed patients who are comparing options but still need a doctor to connect the dots.

Care lanes
Once the problem is clearer, choose the care lane.
Sports knee care
ACL, meniscus, and arthroscopy
For a knee that popped, swelled, catches, locks, gives way, or no longer feels trustworthy after an injury. We connect the MRI to what the knee is actually doing.
Regenerative and injections
BMAC, PRP, and injection options
For patients trying to avoid surgery when it is reasonable, or comparing PRP, BMAC, gel injections, steroid injections, therapy, bracing, arthroscopy, and replacement.
Revision problem-solving
Painful or failed hip and knee implants
For painful, stiff, unstable, loose, infected, worn, or failed hip and knee replacements. Bring old records so we can understand what changed before planning another operation.
General orthopedics
Diagnosis, fractures, shoulder pain, and injury care
For patients who know something hurts but do not know whether the problem is the joint, tendon, ligament, back, old implant, or an injury that needs faster attention.

Make the visit useful
Bring what helps Dr. Morton give you a real answer.
A better visit starts before the exam room. Records, imaging, medication details, and caregiver questions make it easier to compare surgery, injections, therapy, bracing, waiting, or a second opinion.
- Recent X-rays, MRI, CT, or reports if you have them
- Prior surgery notes or implant information for revision questions
- Medication list, allergies, and important medical conditions
- What you have already tried: therapy, injections, braces, medications
- What the pain is keeping you from doing
- Caregiver, home safety, travel, or transportation questions
Local planning pages
Care should account for island, travel, imaging, and follow-up.
Recovery centers
Every treatment decision should lead into a recovery plan.
Public recovery previews help patients prepare. Member guides support enrolled patients with procedure-specific checklists, timelines, warning signs, and caregiver instructions.
Next step
The right service is the one that matches the diagnosis.
Bring imaging, records, prior treatments, and the activities you want back. The consultation helps sort what makes sense and what should happen next.
Written for patients by the practice
Orthopedic guidance should be clear enough to help you make a real decision.
Dr. Paul Norio Morton created Joint Replacement Hawaii to help patients understand hip pain, knee pain, arthritis, sports injuries, robotic joint replacement, revision surgery, injections, and recovery before they come in for a visit.
