We refer to a joint replacement to the surgical procedure in which the worn cartilage of a certain joint is removed along with its subjacent portion of bone and replaced by a prosthetic implant which will be taking on the joints regular functions.
This type of surgery is done on patients with advanced osteoarthrosis (degenerative arthritis) and its goal is to eliminate joint pain as well as regain a better function.
The most common joints that require a total replacement are the knee and the hip, being these weight bearing joints, but this is a procedure that can be done on other joints as well, such as the shoulder, elbow and ankle.
In our service we provide a top quality operating environment using only the best brands in FDA approved implants, this way we can assure the best outcome possible in our patients.
