What is knee replacement surgery?
Knee replacement surgery involves replacing damaged or worn parts of the knee with artificial components to help relieve pain and improve your ability to move.
What is hip replacement surgery?
Hip replacement surgery, sometimes called total hip arthroplasty, is when damaged or diseased parts of the hip joint are replaced with artificial materials to ease pain and improve everyday function.
Who should consider joint replacement surgery?
Joint replacement is typically recommended if you have severe joint pain and stiffness that limits daily activities, and if treatments like medication or physical therapy have not provided enough relief. Our team will help you decide if surgery is right for you.
How long is recovery after joint replacement?
Recovery varies from person to person, but many people return to light activities within a few weeks. Most patients regain their normal range of movement and ability to walk within a few weeks to several months, depending on the type of surgery and therapy.
Are there activities I should avoid after joint replacement?
After joint replacement surgery, it is best to avoid high-impact activities like running or jumping. Gentle exercise and low-impact activities, such as walking, swimming or gardening, are encouraged to keep you moving comfortably.
How painful is joint replacement surgery?
Pain levels differ for everyone, but many people experience significant relief from joint pain after recovery. Our specialists will help manage your pain during the healing process, using medication and physical therapy to support your comfort.
How long will my new joint last?
Most joint replacements last at least 15 to 20 years. Staying active while avoiding high-impact activities and keeping a healthy weight can help your new joint last longer.
