POASNJ, also,  provides medical and surgical treatment of the musculoskeletal system which includes the shoulder and spine—the leg, hip, knee, foot and ankle--the arm including hand disorders. They also provide care which includes trauma: broken bones, contusions, sports injuries, sprains and pulled ligaments. Arthritic conditions, infections, metabolic disorders, and tumors are also treated by POASNJ. Each year thousands of people receive metal and plastic replacements for joints crippled by illness or injury. Most are older than age 65, and more than half are women, according to Joseph Kozielski, M.D. 

For these individuals and many others who need joint replacement surgery, a full and active life can be restored to many who seek this surgical treatment. This surgery, along with patient rehabilitation and education motivates and promotes well-being for patients, their caretakers and families before, during and after surgery. Patients can quickly return to an active lifestyle and be reassured, once more, that they can live a productive life. Joint replacement is only one of the crucial services provided by POASNJ. 

Doctors Kozielski and Poprycz manage your Orthopedic care along with other qualified physicians that are trained in Family Practice, Internal Medicine, General Surgery, Radiology, and other subspecialties for an all-inclusive coverage.

The Joint Replacement Center at Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center was developed as a specialized facility to optimize postoperative rehabilitation of patients receiving total joint replacements. Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center offers joint replacement surgery and comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation services in the same facility. The 50-bed Lourdes Regional Rehabilitation Center is just a few steps down the hallway in the event that joint replacement patients require this service. Working with the Orthopedic surgeons are fully qualified Physiatrists and Physical Therapists. They are there to confer with the doctors by helping patients recover and return to their normal lives. Doctors Kozielski and Poprycz consult with the radiology department for comprehensive testing, as needed for each patient, such as X-rays, CAT scans, MRIs, and bone scans, which aids in the diagnoses of varying orthopedic problems.
