Total Hip and Knee Replacement at TOPS

The pursuit of a life filled with activity, travel, and adventure doesn’t need to end due to joint pain or stiffness. With today’s cutting-edge surgical techniques and comprehensive care, hip and knee replacement surgeries are now available. Today, we will explore these procedures and how they can propel you toward a future filled with activity and joy.

What Joint Replacement Options are Available at Teton Outpatient Services?

For someone with joint pain, taking a leisurely walk or swimming in the ocean can be daunting. However, it doesn’t have to be that way. You can seek solutions that go beyond temporary relief after extensive attempts with non-invasive interventions, medication, and physical therapy.

At Teton Outpatient Services, experienced surgeons perform advanced joint replacement procedures that can help you reclaim an active lifestyle. Our orthopedic specialists will carefully remove the damaged portion of your joint and skillfully replace it with an artificial counterpart.

Benefits include:

  • Decreased need for analgesics
  • Improved mobility and joint functionality
  • Long-lasting pain reduction

Total Hip Replacement

If osteoarthritis has made it difficult for you to move your hips or rest without discomfort, total hip replacement stands as the go-to solution. Hip replacement surgery involves removing the damaged ball and socket of the hip joint and replacing them with a prosthetic implant, which includes a metal stem and ball and a metal or ceramic socket.

This procedure, particularly in patients over the age of 75, is remarkable and encouraging. More than 95% of people who have had hip replacements continue to experience pain relief and improvements in joint function for 10 years or longer after their procedure, according to a study by the Center for Joint Preservation and Reconstruction at the Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics.

Total Knee Replacement

Knee replacement surgery involves removing damaged bone and cartilage from the thighbone, shinbone, and kneecap and replacing it with an artificial joint made of metal alloys and polymers.

It’s possible to grow old with your new knee components. The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) reported that over 90% of knee prosthetics continue to work well 15 years post-surgery.

Full recovery typically takes around 12 weeks. However, many patients can walk without assistance within three weeks and resume driving within four to six weeks.

Break Free from Limitations at Teton Outpatient Services

There is no prize for enduring the pain. Imagine hiking that scenic trail you’ve always dreamed of, dancing the night away, or playing with your children and grandchildren. These experiences are within reach, and the first step is to have an in-depth conversation with your healthcare provider.

Please schedule a consultation with one of our physicians today to learn more about joint replacement options. A total knee or total hip replacement may help you break free from limitations, unlocking a fuller, more fulfilling life.
