Total Joint Replacement of the Hip, Knee, Shoulder, and Elbow
While the symptoms of joint pain may be tolerated with medications and lifestyle adjustments, there may come a time when surgical treatment is necessary. Total joint replacement surgery, also called arthroplasty, removes the damaged portion of the joint and replaces it with artificial implants called prostheses. Arthroplasty is a treatment option that can relieve pain and restore function for most people. At the Office of Orthopaedic Medicine and Surgery our surgeons employ the latest techniques in shoulder, hip, and knee replacement, including minimally invasive procedures for hip and knee replacement.
