Joint Replacement Surgery

Joint pain and limited mobility can significantly affect your quality of life. When conservative treatments like medications, physical therapy, or lifestyle changes fail to provide relief, joint replacement surgery may be the best solution. At Advance Ortho Center, we offer cutting-edge joint replacement surgery to help you regain mobility, reduce pain, and return to an active lifestyle.

Joint replacement surgery involves removing damaged or diseased parts of a joint and replacing them with prosthetic components made of metal, plastic, or ceramic. This surgery is most commonly performed on weight-bearing joints such as the hips, knees, and shoulders, but it can also be done on other joints like the ankles, wrists, and elbows.

The goal of joint replacement surgery is to restore normal joint function, relieve chronic pain, and improve the quality of life for patients suffering from severe joint issues due to conditions like arthritis, injury, or degenerative diseases.

Conditions Treated with Joint Replacement Surgery

At Advance Ortho Center, joint replacement surgery is an effective solution for patients suffering from a variety of conditions, including:

  • Osteoarthritis: A degenerative condition that causes the breakdown of cartilage in the joints, leading to pain, swelling, and stiffness.
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune disease that leads to inflammation of the joints and surrounding tissues, causing joint damage and deformity.
  • Traumatic Injuries: Joint damage due to accidents, falls, or sports injuries.
  • Avascular Necrosis: A condition in which the blood supply to the joint is disrupted, causing the bone to die and leading to joint collapse.
  • Post-Traumatic Arthritis: Arthritis that develops after an injury to the joint, such as a fracture or ligament tear.

Types of Joint Replacement Surgeries We Offer

At Advance Ortho Center, we specialize in a wide range of joint replacement surgeries, including:

Hip Replacement Surgery

Hip replacement surgery involves removing the damaged ball-and-socket joint in the hip and replacing it with a prosthetic joint. This surgery is recommended for patients with severe hip pain due to osteoarthritis, fractures, or other conditions that impair mobility.

Knee Replacement Surgery

Knee replacement surgery replaces the worn-out cartilage and bone in the knee joint with a prosthetic implant. It is ideal for patients with chronic knee pain and stiffness caused by arthritis, previous injuries, or other joint diseases.

Shoulder Replacement Surgery

Shoulder replacement surgery involves replacing the damaged parts of the shoulder joint with prosthetic components. This surgery is performed for patients suffering from severe arthritis, rotator cuff tears, or shoulder fractures.

Ankle Replacement Surgery

For patients with advanced arthritis or injury in the ankle joint, ankle replacement surgery can restore mobility and relieve pain by replacing the damaged joint with an artificial one.

Elbow and Wrist Replacement

Elbow and wrist replacement surgeries are less common but are highly effective for patients with joint damage due to rheumatoid arthritis, trauma, or degenerative diseases.

Benefits of Joint Replacement Surgery

Joint replacement surgery offers significant benefits for patients suffering from chronic joint pain and limited mobility. These include:

Pain Relief
Improved Mobility
Enhanced Quality of Life

The surgery helps patients regain independence and improve their overall quality of life, enabling them to participate in hobbies and activities they once enjoyed.

Durable and Long-Lasting

Modern prosthetic joints are designed to be durable and can last 15 to 20 years or more, providing long-term relief from joint pain and dysfunction.
