Why Joint Replacement Surgery Is Needed

Joint replacement is recommended when a joint is severely damaged by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, or traumatic injury, causing pain and disability that no longer respond to medication, injections, or physical therapy. It's considered once joint deterioration significantly limits mobility and independence in daily activities.

Signs You May Need Joint Replacement Surgery

Persistent joint pain that worsens with activity or even occurs at rest, stiffness that limits range of motion, swelling, and a noticeable change in gait or difficulty with everyday tasks like climbing stairs are the primary warning signs. Pain that disrupts sleep or no longer improves with rest and anti-inflammatory medication typically signals the joint damage has progressed to a stage warranting surgical evaluation.

Types of Joint Replacement Surgery

Total joint replacement substitutes both damaged joint surfaces with prosthetic components, most commonly performed for hips and knees but also shoulders, elbows, and ankles. Partial (unicompartmental) replacement addresses damage limited to one part of a joint (common in early knee arthritis), and minimally invasive techniques using smaller incisions are used in select cases to potentially speed early recovery.
