Who Needs Joint Replacement Surgery

The most common reason for joint replacement is degenerative arthritis, a condition caused by the gradual wear and tear of cartilage in the hip or knee.

If joint pain is limiting your mobility, work, or daily activities, our team can develop a personalized treatment plan to restore your function. We start with non-surgical options, such as:
• Medications
• Injection therapy
• Physical therapy

SMN also has a dedicated team of non-operative orthopedic specialists to help manage pain and delay or avoid surgery when possible. If these treatments are no longer effective, surgery may be the best option.

Types of Joint Replacement Surgery We Do

We treat a wide range of people, from athletes with overuse injuries to adults who have been dealing with knee or hip pain for decades. Not everyone needs surgery. But for those who do, we have multiple options.

Hip Replacement Surgery

Our surgeons remove the damaged ball and socket hip joint and reconstruct it with an artificial joint designed for durability and improved function. Your doctor will discuss if this is an appropriate treatment for your condition, and if you are a candidate for outpatient total hip replacement surgery. We perform:

Total hip replacement
Partial hip replacement
Outpatient hip replacement for eligible patients
Anterior hip replacement (an incision in the front)
Posterior hip replacement (an incision in the back)

Knee Replacement Surgery

Our surgeons remove the damaged parts of the knee joint and replace it with an implant. Your doctor will discuss if this is an appropriate treatment for your condition, and if you are a candidate for outpatient knee replacement surgery. We perform:

Total knee replacement
Partial knee replacement
Outpatient knee replacement for eligible patients

Revision Surgery

Hip and knee replacements are generally successful and durable, but some people will eventually need a revision to correct a problem with an existing hip or knee replacement. Artificial joints or implants usually last 15 – 20 years. Our surgeons are experts in replacing existing hip and knee implants.
