Do you have difficulty with mobility or activity due to hip or knee joint pain? This may be due to chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis or an acute injury. Joint replacement surgery is often recommended when all other treatment options, including rest, medication, exercise, and physical therapy, have been exhausted. To help our joint replacement patients achieve the best outcomes from their surgeries, doctors use Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols to decrease surgical pain, promote recovery, and minimize post-operative complications.
What is Total Joint Replacement?
What Is Joint Replacement Surgery?
Joint replacement surgery is removing a damaged joint and putting in a new one.
What Can Happen to My Joints?
Bones are alive, and they need blood to be healthy, grow, and repair themselves. Joints can be damaged by arthritis and other diseases, injuries, or other causes. The damage can cause pain, stiffness, and swelling and limit blood flow, causing problems.
What Is a New Joint Like?
A new joint, called a prosthesis, can be made of plastic, metal, or both. It may be cemented into place or not cemented, so that your bone will grow into it. Both methods may be combined to keep the new joint in place.
