The Joint Preservation Center is designed to deliver individualized treatment for symptom reduction, function restoration or halting the onset of degenerative arthritis and joint replacement.

The center also allows patients to participate in the Joint Preservation Registry, which catalogues data on their treatment. Researchers can analyze tissue and/or fluid samples recovered from the consenting patients during treatment and combine their findings with outcome data to provide comparative effectiveness research on operative and non-operative treatment.
