When a joint has deteriorated to the point that it can no longer be effectively repaired, joint replacement may be the best option for relief. Patients who need joint replacement are often experiencing significant pain and stiffness, which can limit movement, weaken surrounding muscles, and make everyday activities more difficult.
At Great Basin Orthopaedics, our orthopaedic surgeons in Reno perform joint replacement procedures for the hip, knee, shoulder, and ankle. During a total joint replacement, the damaged or arthritic joint is removed and replaced with an artificial joint, called a prosthesis. Joint replacement is typically considered only after other treatment options have not provided adequate relief.
Our team is dedicated to helping restore mobility, reduce pain, and support your return to the activities you enjoy.
