Joint Replacement

Restore Your Mobility and Freedom with Total Joint Replacement

Chronic joint pain and limited mobility caused by severe arthritis, injury, or degeneration can drastically impact your quality of life. When non-surgical treatments are no longer providing relief, Total Joint Replacement (Arthroplasty) offers a proven, life-changing solution to eliminate pain, restore function, and help you get back to the activities you love.

What is Joint Replacement?

Joint replacement surgery involves removing the damaged surfaces of a joint—typically bone and cartilage—and replacing them with a precision-engineered prosthetic implant (or prosthesis) made of metal, plastic, or ceramic. This artificial joint is designed to mimic the smooth, natural movement of a healthy joint.

The most common joint replacement procedures include:

• Total Hip Replacement (THR): Replacing the damaged "ball and socket" of the hip joint.
• Total Knee Replacement (TKR): Resurfacing the ends of the thigh bone (femur) and shin bone (tibia), and often the kneecap (patella).
• Shoulder Replacement: Addressing severe arthritis or significant rotator cuff damage to restore arm mobility.

Benefits of Joint Replacement Surgery

For the vast majority of patients, the benefits of joint replacement are profound:

• Significant or Complete Pain Relief: The primary goal of the procedure.
• Restored Mobility and Function: Allowing you to walk, climb stairs, and perform daily tasks with ease.
• Improved Quality of Life: Regaining independence and the ability to enjoy an active lifestyle.
