The onset of joint pain can start as a mild ache or discomfort but is often tolerated with the use of over-the-counter pain reducers or anti-inflammatory medications. Though, as we continue to age, most joint pain progresses from mild to moderate, and many will seek more aggressive nonsurgical treatments, such as injections or physical therapy, to ease their pain. However, when these less invasive treatments are unsuccessful and your joint pain becomes severe and significantly inhibits the quality of your daily life, joint replacement surgery is often recommended.
During a joint replacement procedure, the damaged structures of the joint are replaced with new components or a new prosthesis or implant, which significantly reduces or eliminates a patient’s joint pain. There are several approaches to joint replacement or a partial joint replacement. In a total joint replacement, such as a total hip replacement or a total knee replacement, the whole diseased joint is replaced with a new component or implant. In a partial joint replacement, such as hip resurfacing or partial knee replacement, only the damaged section or areas are replaced. Determining the best approach or procedure to help you relieve your joint pain should be discussed with a skilled and experienced joint replacement surgeon.
