  • Total Knee Replacement: Primary total knee replacement for end-stage osteoarthritis and inflammatory arthritis.
  • Outpatient (Same-Day) Joint Replacement: Director of the outpatient arthroplasty program at Hamilton Health Sciences, where appropriately selected patients can return home the day of surgery.
  • Revision Hip & Knee Arthroplasty: Revision surgery for failed, infected, or worn hip and knee replacements.
  • Deformity Correction & Post-Traumatic Reconstruction: Reconstructive surgery of the hip and knee following trauma or for complex limb deformity.

Dr. Tushinski's research focuses on same-day home arthroplasty and opioid-reduction strategies in joint replacement, work that has been featured by Hamilton Health Sciences and is reflected in peer-reviewed publications indexed on PubMed.
