Joint Replacement Surgery
Also called arthroplasty, joint replacement surgery involves removing the damaged portion of the shoulder, hip, or knee and replacing it with an artificial joint that allows for pain-free movement.
There are a greater variety of artificial joints available now than ever and our experts will help decide which option is the best for your individual needs. When performing total shoulder, hip, and knee replacements, our doctors use Biomet technology to create the strongest replacement possible.
Unlike traditional total joint replacement, joint resurfacing does not remove the bones in the joint, but instead resurfaces the bone with smooth metal. Shoulder and hip resurfacing conserves bone and is a less-invasive procedure than total joint replacement.
Our doctors will thoroughly evaluate your condition and may perform arthroscopy to help determine which surgery or type of artificial joint is best for you.
