Joint Replacement at The Center for Orthopedic Surgery
Joint replacement consists of surgically removing painful, arthritic, worn or cancerous parts of the joint and replacing them with engineered synthetic parts. Although joint replacement is an effective and common procedure is usually considered only after other therapies have failed. The goal is to relieve the pain and to regain optimal use of the joint. A physical examination and various tests will show the extent of damage to the joint. Dr. Kehoe or Dr. Hanlon will help you decide if joint replacement surgery is right for you.
