Joint
Replacement

Osteoarthritis is a progressive and degenerative condition which leads to thinning of the lubricating cartilage surface within the joint. The most common symptoms include pain and stiffness. Total joint replacement is an option when non-operative treatment methods have failed. State-of-the-art technology is used to remove the damaged joint and cover it with material made from super alloy metals including titanium or cobalt chrome and high density polyethylene. Advances in technology have made this procedure highly successful.
