Joint Replacement & Revision

An experienced orthopedic surgeon can evaluate and provide a diagnosis for your condition, sometimes recommending joint replacement surgery, such as a knee replacement. If a total joint replacement is determined to be the best option, the surgeon will remove the diseased part of the joint, most commonly the hip or knee, and replace it with an implant or prosthesis. Depending on how much damage the joint has, the surgeon will either perform a partial replacement or a total joint replacement. In some cases, joint revision surgery is necessary as they do not last forever. This is where the surgeon will remove an old implant or prosthesis and replace it with a brand new one.
