If you’re living with significant pain and discomfort from an orthopedic(musculoskeletal) condition, you know firsthand how much it can affect your quality of life. Seemingly simple tasks like walking, climbing stairs or evenstanding become much more difficult. On a positive note, our bone, joint and muscle specialists are here to get you moving again.
Joint Replacement surgeons at Harmony Hospital are experts in the spectrum of joint replacement procedures for the hip and knee. Surgical treatment often involves a total joint reconstruction/joint arthroplasty. For the knee, this may involve unicompartmental knee replacement or total knee replacement. A small subset of patients may be candidates for a bone realignment procedure called an osteotomy. For the hip, treatment may involve a bone-conserving surface replacement procedure or a total hip replacement.
Comprehensive treatment available for conditions in Degenerative Joint Disease of the Hip and Knee; Failed total hip or knee replacement; Infected total hip or knee replacement; Inflammatory Disease of the Hip and Knee (rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, lupus); Osteonecrosis (avascular necrosis) of the hip and knee as well as Post-traumatic Degenerative Joint Disease of the Hip and Knee.
Orthopedic Surgeons at Harmony Hospital are the best knee replacement, hip replacement, and spinal cord specialists who ensure the best and speedy treatment.
Joint replacement surgery is designed to replace the damaged cartilage and any associated loss of bone structure. The procedure itself is a resurfacing of the damaged joint and relies on the patient’s muscles and ligaments for support and function. The prosthesis (replacement joint) is made of titanium, cobalt chrome, stainless steel, ceramic material, and polyethylene (plastic). It can be affixed to the bone with acrylic cement or it can be press-fit, which allows the bone to grow into the implant. Once the joint replacement is in place, its motion and function are restored through physical therapy.
Total hip replacement is a surgical procedure for replacing the hip socket (acetabulum) and the “ball” or head of the thigh bone (femur). The surgeon resurfaces the socket and ball where cartilage and bone have been lost. An artificial ball and socket are then implanted into healthy bone. Most candidates for total hip replacements have advanced changes in the hip joint caused by arthritis. A hip replacement is recommended if the joint pain has become unbearable and when the loss of function prevents a person from being able to perform activities of daily living.
A relatively new treatment option is total ankle replacement. In ankle replacement surgery, an artificial ankle joint is implanted between your lower leg bone and your foot bone. There are a number of artificial ankle devices your surgeon can choose from. They are generally made from metal and plastic parts and are very durable.
Total ankle replacement surgery is a good alternative to ankle fusion surgery in some patients with ankle arthritis. But before considering total ankle replacement, patients should have tried at least several months of simpler, non-surgical treatment, and must have good soft-tissue coverage and blood flow to the ankle.
