Total Joint Replacement: Orthopedic Surgery
Joint pain doesn't have to mean chronic discomfort and disability. When the covering that allows a normal joint to move freely and painlessly is worn or damaged, the friction of bone rubbing on bone results in loss of motion and decreases a joint's weight-bearing capacity. Orthopedic surgery for joint replacement, such as hip replacement or knee replacement, removes the bone surfaces within the joint and replaces them with synthetic materials – durable, wear-resistant plastic or metal. Most patients can look forward to resuming an active, fulfilling lifestyle following a successful joint replacement procedure.
