Joint replacement is typically considered when:
Severe Joint Pain: Conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or traumatic injury cause chronic, intense pain that limits daily activities.
Decreased Mobility: When joint stiffness or deformity makes it difficult to perform simple tasks, such as walking, climbing stairs, or even sitting down.
Non-Surgical Treatments Fail: Medications, physical therapy, or lifestyle changes no longer provide relief or improvement.
Joint replacements include knee, hip, shoulder and more. These can be total or partial, with materials like metal, ceramic, or plastic used. Learn more below!
Knee Replacement: Involves replacing the damaged cartilage and bone with metal and plastic parts. Patients experience significant pain relief and improved function after recovery.
Hip Replacement: Ideal for those suffering from hip arthritis or injury, this procedure replaces the ball and socket joint with durable prosthetics to restore movement and ease discomfort.
Shoulder Replacement: This surgery is recommended for patients with arthritis, rotator cuff injuries, or fractures. The shoulder joint is replaced with an artificial ball and socket to enhance mobility and strength.
Pain Relief: One of the most immediate benefits is the reduction or elimination of chronic pain.
Improved Mobility: Patients can move freely again, often experiencing a greater range of motion than before.
Enhanced Quality of Life: Everyday tasks become easier, allowing patients to live more independently and enjoy activities like walking, cycling, and swimming.
Long-Term Durability: Modern prosthetics are designed to last for decades, making joint replacement a long-term solution for chronic joint problems.
Follow Your Doctor’s Instructions: Adhering to post-operative care guidelines is crucial for a smooth recovery.
Stay Active: Engage in low-impact exercises such as walking, swimming, or cycling to maintain joint function and strength.
Maintain a Healthy Weight: Excess weight can put stress on your new joint, so adopting a healthy lifestyle is important for long-term success.
