Learn more about joint replacement surgery

Rheumatoid arthritis, arthritis resulting from previous injury, correction of bone deformities and trauma are several conditions treatable by joint replacement through orthopedic surgery. A correct diagnosis is essential before starting treatment.

Your orthopedic doctor will work diligently to reach an accurate diagnosis and communicate all of your options to you. The first step is to set an appointment with one of St. Joseph Health’s highly skilled orthopedic surgeons. You’ll get an honest, open, and fully detailed recommendation that is designed for your lifestyle and personal goals.

The lifespan of your new joint depends on factors like your weight, age and activity level. Fortunately, artificial joint technology has greatly improved, meaning replacements are lasting longer than ever. Your orthopedic surgeon can advise you, so don’t wait to set up your initial orthopedic surgery consultation.

At St. Joseph Health, our sports medicine doctors have the specialized knowledge and experience to help you recover quickly and come back stronger than ever — while putting you in control of your recovery. When a joint injury or condition keeps you from competing, it takes an expert in orthopedic sports medicine to make an accurate diagnosis and create a fast, effective treatment plan.

We understand that athletes are different. They’re deeply connected to their bodies, highly motivated and willing to put in the work it takes to return to the game they love. Our physicians tailor care to match that mindset—so you can heal with confidence and get back to doing what you love, better than before.
