Joint Replacement

Joint replacement is a surgical procedure in which all or part of a damaged or arthritic joint is replaced with a prosthetic implant, designed to mimic the function of a natural joint. This surgery is commonly performed on joints that have been severely affected by conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or trauma. At Revere Health, we offer advanced joint replacement procedures to help relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve the quality of life for our patients.

Common Types of Joint Replacement
Hip Replacement: The damaged ball-and-socket joint in the hip is replaced with a prosthetic implant, designed to restore pain-free movement.
Knee Replacement: This procedure replaces the damaged cartilage and bone in the knee joint with a prosthetic, allowing for smooth movement.
Shoulder Replacement: Replaces the damaged parts of the shoulder joint with artificial components to restore function and reduce pain.
Other Joint Replacements: Elbow, ankle, and wrist replacements are less common but may be performed for severe joint damage in these areas.

How Joint Replacement Works
Removal of Damaged Joint: The surgeon removes the arthritic or damaged parts of the joint, including bone and cartilage.
Prosthetic Implant: A prosthesis made of metal, plastic, or ceramic is placed in the joint to replicate the natural movement of the original joint.
Restored Function: The prosthetic joint provides smooth, pain-free movement and improves the range of motion, helping patients regain mobility.

Benefits of Joint Replacement
Pain Relief: Joint replacement significantly reduces or eliminates chronic pain caused by arthritis or joint damage.
Improved Mobility: Patients often experience improved joint function and an increased range of motion after surgery.
Long-Term Solution: Modern joint implants are durable and can last for many years, providing long-term relief and improved quality of life.
Increased Activity Levels: Many patients can return to daily activities and even low-impact sports after recovering from joint replacement surgery.
