There are several types of joint replacement surgeries available:
Total Joint Replacement
In this procedure, your surgeon at Elite Sports Medicine and Orthopedics removes the ends of both bones in the joint and replaces them with artificial components.
Partial Joint Replacement
If the end of one of the bones in the joint is still sound, your surgeon may only need to remove part of the other bone. Partial joint replacement is less common than total joint replacement.
Revision Joint Replacement
Revision surgery might be necessary if you’ve already received a new joint but something has worn out or malfunctioned. These surgeries are highly complex.
The type of joint replacement surgery needed depends on your joint condition and factors like your age and other health problems. Our surgeons can operate on ankles, knees, shoulders, and hips.
