Joint Replacement & Revision

Over time, the demand we place on our joints can cause severe joint pain and discomfort. After proper diagnosis, joint replacement or revision may be recommended for pain relief.

Whether you need a total joint replacement or a joint revision to improve an existing artificial implant, our specialty-trained doctors at Central Indiana Orthopedics are recognized leaders in both procedures.

Joint Replacement

Severe joint pain is the most common reason patients undergo a joint replacement procedure. Whether your pain is a result of an old injury, a degenerative condition like arthritis or osteoarthritis or a fracture, joint replacement procedures may be recommended.

You may be a candidate for a joint replacement surgery if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:

• Severe joint pain
• Pain in the joint that keeps you awake at night
• Joint discomfort that prevents you from participating in recreational activities
• Joint pain that limits your ability to conduct necessary and daily functions, such as climbing stairs or standing up
• You have attempted more conservative treatment methods, such as exercise or therapy, without success

Joint Revision

Joint revision surgeries may be necessary for younger individuals who demand a lot from their joints or for patients with older implants that may have worn down significantly over time. If the implant used in your joint replacement loosens, wears or becomes infected, the affected joint may become swollen and painful. When this occurs, a joint revision procedure may be recommended to remove the old implant and replace it with new components.

It may be time to consult with a joint revision surgeon if you are limping, experiencing stiffness or instability.
