If you have osteoarthritis, ordinary motions like walking, getting up from a
chair and getting in or out of your car can cause a tremendous amount of pain
and limit your mobility.
Treatments like exercise, medications and injections can control osteoarthritis
pain. But as the cartilage in your joints continues to wear down and your pain
increases, joint replacement surgery can be the solution to getting you moving
again, pain-free. The two most common types of joint replacement surgeries are
knee replacements and hip replacements.
POA joint replacement surgeons offer:
- Minimally-invasive partial joint replacements that resurface only the damaged
portion of the joint with metal or plastic implants
- Total joint replacements that completely remove the diseased or damaged joint
and replace it with an implant that replicates the motion of a healthy joint.
The POA surgeons who specialize in joint replacement are experts at determining
which type of treatment will be best for your particular case. They have received
the most advanced training and are among the most experienced in the area at these
types of surgeries. In addition, most POA patients will be able to participate
in the award-winning Joint Camp program at St. Francis.
