Joint Replacement

Joint Replacement

The body’s joints allow it to move freely. Over time, a patient’s joints become damaged or diseased, most often from arthritis, causing the need for replacement. Joint replacement is an orthopedic procedure in which an arthritic or damaged joint is removed and replaced with an orthopedic prosthesis, generally made from materials to allow the artificial joint to move normally. Joint replacement surgeries performed at DOC Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine includes ankle replacement, hip replacement, knee replacement and shoulder replacement.

One of the most flexible joints in the body, the shoulder allows patients to rotate their arms in several positions, including in front, behind, and to the side of their body.

DOC Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine works quickly to help alleviate shoulder pain and aims to restore the full range of motion for patients.
