Joint care
Joint pain is often due to cartilage damage caused by injury, wear and tear or arthritis in the joint. Cartilage damage impacts the joint's functionality and causes pain. Some joint pain can be treated with conservative methods; however, when these methods are ineffective, we may recommend surgery.
Joint replacement surgery
The goal of joint replacement surgery is to help relieve your pain and work toward resuming your daily activities. The majority of hip and knee replacements last 15 years or longer. These surgeries can also help correct deformities and prevent further joint damage.
If you are experiencing hip or knee pain, our goal is to pursue the least invasive path to treating your symptoms. Some potential benefits of minimally invasive joint replacement include:
- Faster recovery
- Less trauma to the body
- Shorter stay in the hospital
Total hip replacement
In a total hip replacement, the head of the thigh bone is replaced with an artificial ball and stem made of strong metal or ceramic. The artificial socket is made of polyethylene or metal backed with a plastic liner. The artificial joint may be cemented in position or held securely in the bone without cement.
Total knee replacement
During a total knee replacement, our knee specialists replace a diseased knee joint with an artificial joint. The artificial joint is often anchored into place with bone cement. In other instances, the artificial joint is covered with material that allows bone tissue to grow into it.
Orthopedic rehabilitation
After you undergo orthopedic surgery, we offer a physical rehabilitation program. Our goal is to help you work toward regaining mobility and returning to an active lifestyle. To do this, we provide personalized treatment plans and educational resources. We also encourage your family and friends to join the recovery process.
