Joint Replacement

Orthopedic Joint Replacement Surgeries

JOINT REPLACEMENT OVERVIEW

Total joint replacement is a surgical procedure in which the bone surfaces of a joint are replaced with durable synthetic materials, such as plastic or metal, to reduce bone-on-bone friction, thereby relieving pain and restoring mobility. When conservative treatment fails to relieve pain and improve range-of-motion, joint replacement surgery may be pursued. Each patient is unique, and it is important to talk to your orthopedic provider about the reason for your pain so you can discuss all available treatment options.

ABOUT JOINT REPLACEMENTS

Knee Replacement

arthritis is the most common reason for knee replacement surgery to be performed. For those with severe joint deterioration in their knees, everyday life can be a struggle. Chronic pain from damaged knee cartilage can make walking, climbing stairs or even standing difficult.

Knee replacement surgery may be necessary when medication and physical therapy fails to relieve knee pain and improve range-of-motion.

Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacements

Robotic Knee Surgery is an alternative to traditional knee replacement surgery. The new robotic knee procedure uses robotic arm technology to assist the surgeon in performing a total knee replacement.

Shoulder Replacement

A shoulder replacement, or shoulder arthroplasty, is a procedure that tries to eliminate the source of pain and dysfunction by replacing damaged parts of the shoulder joint with artificial components. The artificial joint, which is also called a prosthesis, is designed to move like a regular, healthy joint so your shoulder can function normally again.
