Hip Replacement
The hip is one of the most commonly replaced joints. Arthritis is a main reason for hip replacement. Arthritis can cause the protective cartilage on the ends of the bones to wear away, causing painful bone on bone rubbing, restricted movement, and loss of function. Hip replacement is a surgical procedure that involves removing the damaged bone and replacing it with artificial implants that restore pain-free movement and function.

Hip Resurfacing
Hip resurfacing is helpful for younger active people with arthritis or other hip conditions. Hip resurfacing is a surgical procedure that resurfaces the bones in the hip joint. Hip resurfacing conserves bone and is a less-invasive procedure than hip replacement. Overall, hip resurfacing is a successful procedure and allows most people to return to the activities that they enjoyed before experiencing pain.

Knee Replacement- Partial
Severe arthritis can damage the cartilage in the knee, leading to pain, reduced motion, and loss of knee function. Cartilage is a protective covering at the end of the bones that absorbs shock and provides a smooth surface for the bones in the knee joint to move on. When other treatments have failed, partial knee replacement (unicompartmental knee arthroplasty) surgery can be used to remove the damaged bone and replace it with an artificial device. Partial knee replacement is appropriate if only a portion of the knee joint has damage. The best candidates for partial knee replacement surgery are older than age 55, have intact knee ligaments, and are not obese.

Knee Replacement- Total
The knee is one of the most easily injured joints. Knee injury, aging, and “wear and tear” can lead to arthritis, a painful degenerative condition. Arthritis causes the protective cartilage in the knee joint to wear away, causing painful bone-on-bone rubbing, stiffness, and swelling. Total knee replacement, also called Knee Arthroscopy, is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged knee joint with an artificial knee joint. Total knee replacement is the only way to reduce pain, restore function, and improve quality of life. Total knee replacement is the most common joint surgery and is highly successful.
