Joint Replacement--A Common & Successful Surgery

Joint replacement is one of the most common and successful operations in modern orthopedic surgery. It consists of replacing painful, arthritic, worn or cancerous parts of the joint with artificial surfaces shaped in such a way as to allow joint movement.

Prognosis is good to excellent in 95% of major joint replacements. Pain relief is especially reliable, though full recovery of range of motion is not always accomplished.

Areas that may need a joint replacement include the knee, ankle, hip, shoulder and fingers.

It may be time to seek treatment if:

• Your joint hurts one or more days a week
• Your pain interferes with your sleep
• It’s painful to perform everyday activities
• Pain medication is not working
• Pain limits your participation in your favorite activities
