The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases provides patient information about osteoarthritis, a condition that can gradually damage joints and cause pain, stiffness, and reduced movement.
Patients considering surgery can also review MedlinePlus information about hip replacement and knee replacement to understand why these procedures may be considered and what recovery can involve.
Joint Replacement and Orthopedic Care Approach
Joint replacement surgery is generally considered when severe joint damage causes persistent pain and reduced mobility despite appropriate non-surgical treatment. Osteoarthritis is a common reason for knee or hip replacement, although other joint diseases and previous injuries can also contribute.
Dr. Itiravivong’s arthroplasty practice involves assessing the degree of joint damage, symptoms, mobility, general health, and response to previous treatment before surgery is considered.
Joint replacement removes damaged joint surfaces and replaces them with artificial components designed to restore movement and function. The choice of procedure depends on which joint is affected and the patient’s individual condition.
His wider orthopedic experience also includes trauma and spinal disorders, allowing assessment of patients whose mobility problems may involve more than one part of the musculoskeletal system.
