Total Joint Replacement
Total joint replacement is a surgical procedure that replaces severely
damaged joint cartilage with an artificial substitute of metal and
plastic. An orthopedic surgeon will perform joint replacement surgery
when all non-surgical treatments have failed to relieve pain or
return function to your joint.
