Joint Replacement & Joint Revision

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

The following joint replacement and joint revision procedures can be performed by our board-certified orthopedic surgeons at our outpatient surgery centers or local hospitals:

• Ankle replacement and ankle revision
• Hip replacement and hip revision
• Knee replacement (total and partial) and knee revision
• Shoulder replacement and shoulder revision

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 daily functions, such as climbing stairs or standing up
• You have attempted more conservative treatment methods, such as exercise, injections or therapy, without success

Joint Revision

Joint revision surgery 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 in a joint that has been replaced. To consult with a joint revision surgeon at Central Indiana Orthopedics, please request an appointment online or call 800-622-6575.
