Total Joint Replacement
Do you suffer from joint pain? Total joint replacement surgery is helping people of all ages to live pain-free, active lives.
Joints are formed by the ends of two or more bones connected by tissue called cartilage. Healthy cartilage serves as a protective cushion—allowing smooth, low-friction movement of the joint. Injury, "wear and tear," and osteoarthritis can damage the cartilage, causing painful bone-on-bone rubbing.
The team at University Orthopaedic Surgeons has expertise in caring for patients with aching joints. After careful diagnosis of your joint problem, your doctor may recommend a total joint replacement. To replace a hip or knee or shoulder joint, the surgeon removes the diseased or damaged parts and inserts artificial parts, called implants.
