JOINT REPLACEMENT & RECONSTRUCTION

OAD's Joint Replacement Specialists are sought after for their advanced training and skill in minimally invasive surgery, computer-assisted surgical techniques, total and partial replacement/arthroplasty, and reconstructive surgery.

The effects of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, degenerative joint disease, traumatic/acute injury or long-term sports injuries can result in chronic pain, muscle weakening, joint dysfunction, cartilage damage/loss, and possible disability.

If conservative treatments such as physical therapy, cortisone injections, and/or medications are unsuccessful in providing pain relief and restoring function, joint reconstruction or replacement may be a beneficial option. Reconstructive surgery preserves and repairs damaged joints without replacing the damaged joint with a prosthesis (artificial joint). Replacement surgery involves replacing (i.e., implanting) a total or partial joint with a prosthesis. Prosthetic joints are highly-designed components made of very durable metal (e.g., titanium) and plastic materials; each prosthetic is uniquely shaped to restore joint function.

Thanks to incredible advancements in medical technology, instrumentation, and surgical techniques, unbearable joint pain shouldn't deprive you of a vital and active lifestyle.

Here are a few of the joint replacement/reconstruction options skillfully performed by OAD's surgeons:

• Minimally invasive total hip, knee, and shoulder joint replacement
• Shoulder, spine, hip, knee, ankle, hand, wrist, and elbow replacement and advanced reconstruction
• Reverse and total shoulder arthroplasty
