Frequently Asked Questions.
We’re here to address your concerns and provide clarity about all aspects of joint replacement surgery. Contact us if you have additional questions you would like answered.
How do I know if I'm a candidate for joint replacement surgery?
You may be a good candidate for joint replacement surgery if you experience substantial pain or mobility obstructions that interrupt your daily activities, even after trying non-surgical treatments like pulsed electromagnetic field therapy. Still, a thorough evaluation and medical imaging from a qualified joint specialist is the best way to confirm if surgery is the right option for you
What types of joint replacement surgeries do you offer?
The joint replacement surgeries we offer are:
Total hip revision surgery
Anterior total hip replacement
Total knee replacement
Partial knee replacement
Total knee replacement revision
Each surgical approach is tailored to the specific needs and conditions of the patient. We also offer non-surgical alternative therapies to manage pain and inflammation.
What is the recovery time for joint replacement surgery?
Recovery timelines vary based on the patient’s age, quality of health, and the type of surgery they receive. Still, most patients get to go home shortly after their surgery, thanks to the minimally invasive technology we use, such as Mako SmartRobotics. Then, most patients will experience significant improvements in mobility and pain within the first few weeks of recovery, and they can resume everyday tasks with slight adjustments within six months.
How long does a joint replacement last?
A replaced joint can last between 15 to 20 years for many patients. Still, the longevity of a prosthetic joint depends on the bodily location, such as the knee or hip, and lifestyle factors, such as the patient’s activity level or body weight.
What should I expect during rehabilitation after sugery?
Although each rehabilitation plan is unique, they should each include medication for pain relief, check up visits, and some level of physical therapy to improve strength, flexibility, and mobility. You can expect a structured program starting with gentle exercises and progressing to more intensive workouts. Physical therapy should concentrate on the muscles surrounding your new joint to help you regain function and return to daily activities.
Are there non-surgical alternatives to joint replacement?
Yes, some non-surgical alternative therapies that are available to help with joint pain and mobility issues include:
- Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy
- ARPwave therapy
- Physical therapy
- Prescription medications
- Corticosteroid injections
Making intentional lifestyle changes, such as controlling your body weight to reduce strain on your joints, can help you manage pain and improve joint function. Considering these options before opting for surgery is always a good idea.
Will I need physical therapy after joint replacement surgery?
Yes, physical therapy is an essential part of the recovery process. Its focus is to help restore range of motion, strengthen muscles around the joint, and improve overall function.
How can I prepare for joint replacement surgery?
Preparation involves attending pre-surgical assessments, learning about the procedure and recovery process, adapting your home to meet your new mobility needs, arranging for post-surgery assistance from friends, family, or caretakers, and following preoperative instructions given by your healthcare provider.
Does insurance cover joint replacement surgery?
Many insurance plans offer coverage for joint replacement surgery, but it depends on the details of the health plan. It is essential to check with your insurance company and the medical provider to understand the specifics of your policy and predict potential out-of-pocket expenses.
What are the benefits of robotic-assisted surgery?
Robotic-assisted surgery like Mako SmartRobotics can reduce the procedure’s invasiveness by offering superb precision when making incisions and interacting with joint components. Some potential benefits of robotic-assisted surgery include less pain, a mitigated risk of complications, and a quicker recovery compared to traditional methods.
