Your Trusted Arthroplasty Surgeon for Joint Replacement Surgery

Arthroplasty, or more commonly known as joint replacement surgery, is a surgical procedure to reconstruct or replace the integrity and function of a joint. In this procedure, the Arthroplasty Surgeon will restore the joint by reshaping the bones or replacing them with metal or plastic parts like a prosthesis. Although many types of arthritis may affect the joints, osteoarthritis is the most common reason that might require one to undergo arthroplasty.

When medical treatments are no longer adequate in providing relief from joint pain and/or disability, arthroplasty may be recommended. Common joint replacement surgeries include knee replacement surgery, which includes partial and total knee replacement, and hip replacement surgery, which includes partial and total knee replacement surgery. Joint replacement surgery is also performed, albeit less commonly, on the ankle, elbow, shoulder, and fingers. 

Arthroplasty can help relieve pain and restore enough function in a joint to allow a person to perform their normal daily activities and provide substantial improvement in the patient’s quality of life. Speak to our Orthopaedic, Trauma and Arthroplasty Surgeon by scheduling an appointment for expert advice to determine if joint replacement surgery is the best choice for your condition.
