Joint Replacement
Advances in medical technology have made joint replacement an effective option to treat chronic joint pain from osteoarthritis and other degenerative joint diseases or injury. The diseased or damaged joint is replaced with an artificial joint implant that can reduce pain and swelling and increase mobility.
The multidisciplinary orthopedic care team at Eastern New Mexico Medical Center includes doctors, orthopedic surgeons and physical therapists who provide care. We offer surgical procedures for joints including:
- Total joint replacement surgery or joint repair
- Knee replacement
- Hip replacement
- Shoulder replacement
- Partial knee replacement
Joint replacement is usually recommended as a treatment for severe joint pain and to repair a dysfunctional joint or one showing the effects of arthritis or other issues, such as cartilage being worn away which causes uncomfortable friction of the joint.
