Dr. Hai Nguyen
Biography
Dr. Nguyen is an orthopaedic surgeon specializing in hip and knee joint replacement and reconstruction. He has spent the last 18 years at Hôpital Charles-Lemoyne and Hôpital Jean-Talon caring for people of all ages suffering from destructive and degenerative pathologies affecting the hip and knee. Always striving to relieve pain, restore function, improve quality of life and minimize complications, Dr. Nguyen’s career path has led him to develop a wide range of techniques.
He masters the anterior, posterior and minimally invasive approach to the hip. Resurfacing, large-diameter heads and dual-mobility cups are all part of his hip arsenal. For knees, he offers the full range of partial and total replacement options. Recently, he has added computer assistance and robotics to his roster, to be able to offer the precision and reliability that technology brings to surgery.
For Dr. Nguyen, all these tools serve to enable him to achieve the ultimate goal of restoring the anatomy of the native joint to its natural, individual motion. This philosophy of personalized surgery with kinematic alignment is revolutionizing the world of arthroplasty, and Dr. Nguyen is one of its leaders.

Glenohumeral osteoarthritis and total shoulder replacement
Conservative options may offer only short-term relief. Patients with severe shoulder pain and limited mobility may suffer from degenerative joint disease, advanced osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis and other debilitating conditions of the shoulder joint…
Does persistent shoulder pain interfere with your daily activities?
Conservative options may offer only short-term relief. Patients with severe shoulder pain and limited mobility may suffer from degenerative joint disease, advanced osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis and other debilitating conditions of the shoulder joint. These conditions are characterized by erosion of the cartilage, inflammation of the surrounding tissues and considerable reduction of the harmonious shoulder joint.
Joint replacement with total prosthesis
Surgical treatment is available, involving replacement of the joint with a total prosthesis, for patients who find no relief in conservative treatments. This surgical procedure involves removing the damaged parts of the shoulder joint and replacing them with artificial components.
Joint replacement with a total prosthesis is a surgical procedure performed under general anaesthetic. During the operation, the surgeon separates the shoulder muscles to gain access to the joint. After placing the prosthetic parts, the muscles are sewn back together and the incision is closed. There are two types of joint replacement :
Anatomical Total Prosthesis
The humeral head of the shoulder (the « ball ») is replaced by a prosthesis in the shape of a metal ball. A prosthesis is also placed over the glenoid to mimic the shoulder socket.
Reverse Total Shoulder Prosthesis
The positions of the humeral head « ball » and cavity are reversed. The prosthetic ball is implanted in the scapula and the prosthetic socket is implanted in the head of the arm bone. This changeover surgery is ideal for patients who have also suffered complex shoulder fractures, irreparable rotator cuff tears, advanced bone wear or poor-quality rotator cuff tendons and muscles.

Hip replacement
Hip replacement can treat hip pain and stiffness in people with arthritis, avascular necrosis or other forms of hip joint damage…
Important information
Hip replacement surgery can treat pain and stiffness for people suffering from arthritis, avascular necrosis or other injuries of the hip joint.
During your surgery, the orthopedic surgeon will replace the two extremities of the damaged hip joint with artificial components.
There are various surgical approaches for hip replacement surgery, including minimally invasive options that may be appropriate for some patients.
Recovery and rehabilitation will contribute to restoring your mobility and allow you to return to your activities with less pain.
What is a Hip Replacement?
The surgery replaces parts of the joint with artificial implants. The ball (head of the femur) and socket (acetabulum) are both replaced. The goal of the procedure is to allow you to return to your daily activities and resume sports more comfortably.
Who Can Benefit From a Hip Prosthesis?
The orthopedic surgeon may recommend a hip replacement if you feel pain, inflammation and have severe hip joint damage as a result of the following conditions:
– Osteoarthritis (most common)
– Rheumatoid polyarthritis
– Osteonecrosis (avascular necrosis)
– Injury, such as a hip fracture
– Tumor in the hip joint
How to Know if you Need a Hip Replacement?
When hip pain affects your quality of life, it may be time to replace the hip. Signs of a decrease in quality of life include:
– Difficulty doing simple daily tasks such as walking, getting dressed, putting on shoes, going up and down stairs, simply standing up, etc.
– Inability to fully take part in activities you enjoy.
– Inability to have good sleep quality because of pain.
At first, the orthopedic surgeon may recommend other treatment options such as medication to relieve pain or inflammation, walking aids, intraarticular injections and physical therapy. If these do not alleviate the pain and stiffness, hip arthroplasty may be necessary to restore function and improve your quality of life.
