Total Joint Replacement When a joint becomes severely damaged by arthritis, injury, disease or the aging process, chronic pain and loss of function may be so profound that totally replacing the entire joint is chosen for both pain relief and function. Although total joint replacement has been performed since 1968, the importance of having this procedure performed by the most highly trained, highly skilled surgeons cannot be overemphasized. At American Total Orthopedics, we utilize advanced artificial joint prostheses, incorporating wear resistant metal alloys and polymers. Total joint replacement requires not only the surgeon’s skill, but also the patient’s understanding and dedication to participation in therapy following the joint replacement. In order to achieve the very best possible result, we are here to help guide you through total joint replacement every step of the way.
