Joint Replacement
Advances in medical technology have made joint replacement an effective option to treat chronic joint pain from osteoarthritis and other degenerative joint diseases or injury. Through surgery, the diseased or damaged joint is replaced with an artificial joint implant that can reduce pain and swelling and increase mobility.
The multidisciplinary orthopedic care team at North Okaloosa Physician Group includes doctors, orthopedic surgeons, pain management specialists and physical therapists who provide care. We offer surgical procedures for joints including:
- Total joint replacement or joint repair surgery
- Knee replacement
- Elbow replacement
- Hip replacement
- Shoulder replacement
- Hip resurfacing
- Minimally invasive options
Joint replacement is usually recommended as a treatment for severe joint pain and to repair a dysfunctional joint or one showing the effects of arthritis or other issues, such as cartilage being worn away which causes uncomfortable friction of the joint.
Part of orthopedic care includes preparing patients properly before joint replacement surgery, as well as helping them recover their mobility through rehabilitation services such as physical therapy. You’ll know what to expect before, during and after the surgery. Orthopedic care professionals are focused on providing quality care from diagnosis through recovery.
