Understanding Total Hip and Knee Replacement Surgery
At Teton Outpatient Services, we specialize in total knee replacement and total hip replacement. These are the most common orthopedic procedures designed to restore joint function, relieve pain, and improve quality of life.
These surgeries are often recommended for individuals suffering from severe osteoarthritis or other degenerative conditions that have damaged their joints beyond repair. During a total hip replacement, which is also known as total hip arthroplasty, the affected bone and cartilage are surgically removed and substituted with prosthetic components.
This procedure aims to restore functionality and alleviate pain in the hip joint. Similarly, a total knee replacement involves removing damaged bone and cartilage from the knee joint. It replaces them with artificial components to improve mobility and reduce discomfort.
Arthritis is the leading cause of chronic knee pain and disability, affecting many individuals. Total knee replacements are highly successful in reducing pain and restoring function in these cases.
