Total Joint Replacement
Don’t let joint pain hold you back from what you love to do
Joint pain is disruptive and disabling to an individual’s lifestyle. Joints can become damaged as a result of aging, wear and tear, injuries, and conditions such as osteoarthritis, which is the most common type of arthritis, causing pain, joint degeneration, and disability. Osteoarthritis affects over 21 million Americans. As the cartilage that lines the joints continues to wear away, the blood flow inside the joint becomes restricted. If a joint does become damaged, the pain and disability that accompanies this degenerative process can become quite unbearable, accompanied by a host of other problems.
Joint disorders cause loss of function, mobility, stiffness, and pain. If nonsurgical, methods of treatment such as medication, cortisone injections, PRP therapy, physical therapy, and other methods, no longer work to provide pain relief, your doctor will recommend joint replacement surgery.
Over 500,000 American adults have joint replacement surgery each year. Thanks to technology that is always evolving, some of the greatest orthopedic technological advances in history have made it possible for people to receive brand-new hips, knees and shoulders, and this number of people continues to grow.

As surgical and technological advancements have continuously evolved, today, it has made it possible for surgeons specializing in joint replacement, to restore the injured or degenerated joint, so that the individual can return back to their normal active and productive lifestyles after surgery, with optimal function and range of motion.

During total joint replacement surgery, also called arthroplasty, the orthopedic surgeon removes the damaged portion of your hip, knee, or shoulder, and replaces it with an artificial joint, made of metal, plastic, or ceramic, called a prosthesis. The prosthesis is designed to replicate a normal, healthy joint as much as possible.
There are a greater variety of artificial joints available now than ever before.
