At Care Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Center (COSM), our fellowship-trained joint replacement surgeons are highly experienced in the diagnosis, treatment, and surgical management of joint injuries and conditions. We are committed to helping patients regain mobility, reduce pain, and return to an active lifestyle with advanced joint replacement solutions.

Understanding Joint Pain

Joint pain often begins as a mild ache, sometimes managed with over-the-counter medications or lifestyle adjustments. However, with age or progressive joint disease, pain typically worsens and may require more targeted treatment such as injections or physical therapy. When these non-surgical treatments are no longer effective and joint pain severely limits your daily activities, joint replacement surgery may be the best option.

What is Joint Replacement Surgery?

Joint replacement involves removing the damaged or diseased parts of a joint and replacing them with an artificial implant (prosthesis). This procedure significantly reduces or eliminates pain and improves function.

• Total Joint Replacement: The entire joint (such as hip or knee) is replaced with a new prosthesis.
• Partial Joint Replacement: Only the damaged portion of the joint is replaced, such as partial knee replacement or hip resurfacing.

Our surgeons carefully evaluate each patient to determine the most suitable approach, ensuring the best possible outcome.

When to See a Joint Replacement Specialist

You should consult a joint replacement surgeon if you are experiencing:

• Severe joint pain or stiffness affecting daily activities
• Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or standing from a seated position
• Joint instability or frequent giving way
• Limping due to pain
• Muscle weakness around the joint
• Night pain that disturbs your sleep
• Swelling, soreness, or stiffness
• Persistent pain despite exercise, therapy, or medications

These symptoms are often linked to conditions such as:

• Osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Osteoporosis
• Cartilage degeneration
• Fractures or joint injuries
• Joint deformities or repetitive stress damage
