Joint Replacement

Normally our bodies are supposed to provide us with smooth, pain-free movement. Joint problems such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and past injuries can cause the bone and cartilage in the joint to wear away causing joint pain.This pain is not only uncomfortable but also prevents us from doing the everyday activities we enjoy.

Fortunately, a diseased joint can now be replaced with an artificial joint which relieves stiffness and pain, as well as allows normal movement to once again become possible. Anyone who has ongoing (chronic) pain or loss of function in a joint may be a candidate for joint replacement surgery. However, joint pain doesn’t always require surgery.

Services

Doctors will first try other treatments before turning to surgery, including:

Medicine
Physical therapy
Injections
Bracing

MEDICATION

If non-surgical treatment options have failed, joint replacement surgery may be an option. Most patients who undergo joint replacement surgeries hips are over 55 years of age, but the operation is occasionally performed on younger persons for specific conditions. Circumstances vary, but generally patients are considered for total joint replacement if:

Pain is severe enough to restrict not only work and recreation, but also the ordinary activities of daily living
Pain is not relieved by conservative treatment like pain medicine, the use of a cane, and restricting activities
There is significant stiffness of the hip
X-rays show advanced arthritis or other problem

Just as no two patients are alike, no two joint replacements are exactly the same. That is why at Citi Neuro Centre, our team of expert orthopedic surgeons work closely with the patient from diagnosis through treatment and recovery in order to meet the unique medical and lifestyle needs of each patient.
