About Our Joint Replacement Program
Many joint problems are related to arthritis of the knee, hip, and shoulder. Other joint problems can be caused by osteonecrosis, cartilage tears, and rotator cuff damage. Whenever possible, our physicians treat joint disorders through non-surgical options such as medication, therapy and splinting. Depending on the stage of the disease or the extent of the patient’s disability, the Joint Replacement Center may treat these joint problems with reconstructive or replacement surgery, like knee replacement or hip replacement surgery. We are dedicated to the early identification and treatment of joint problems.
Common Joint Replacements
Total Hip Replacements
Total hip replacement is an advanced and effective orthopaedic procedure. It treats a variety of hip conditions and injuries that cause pain and decrease hip function and quality of life. Hip pain patients are encouraged to make an appointment with a Carolina Orthopaedics and Neurosurgical Associates’ (CONA) hip specialist to find out if total hip replacement is an appropriate treatment option.
Partial Hip Replacements
A partial hip replacement treats a fractured or diseased hip that causes pain and decreases the quality of life. Part of the femur (leg bone) is removed and replaced with metal and plastic components. Carolina Orthopaedics and Neurosurgical Associates’ (CONA) partial hip replacement patients quickly return to normal activities with minimal to no restrictions.
Wrist Joint Replacements
Wrist joint replacement (wrist arthroplasty) is a surgical treatment option for wrist arthritis. The procedure effectively reduces symptoms and improves wrist joint mobility and function.
Total Knee Replacements
A total knee replacement or total knee arthroplasty is a common surgical procedure in which arthritic knee bone and cartilage are removed and replaced with metal and plastic components. Carolina Orthopaedics and Neurosurgical Associates’ (CONA) total knee replacement patients receive new knees and live pain-free lives with minimal to no restrictions.
Partial Knee Replacements
Partial knee replacement treats arthritis that is localized to one side of the knee. It is a great treatment option for patients who suffer from arthritis but do not need a total knee replacement. Carolina Orthopaedics and Neurosurgical Associates’ (CONA) total knee replacement patients see their quality of life dramatically improve after their procedure.
Total Elbow Replacements
Total elbow replacement is a surgical treatment option for severe elbow arthritis that does not improve after nonsurgical treatment. Board-Certified and Fellowship-Trained Carolina Orthopaedic and Neurosurgical Associates’ (CONA) upper extremity specialists perform total elbow replacement surgery.
Outpatient Joint Replacements
Total joint replacement surgery can now be performed on an outpatient basis. This means patients can recover in the comfort of their own home rather than staying 3-5 nights in the hospital. Patients who are interested in outpatient joint replacement are encouraged to make an appointment with a Carolina Orthopaedics and Neurosurgical Associates’ (CONA) specialist to find out if they are a procedure candidate.
Reverse Total Shoulder Replacements
A reverse total shoulder replacement is a surgical treatment option for a movement-related shoulder arthritis pain. Board-certified and Fellowship-Trained Carolina Orthopaedic and Neurosurgical Associates’ (CONA) shoulder specialists are reverse total shoulder replacement experts.
Joint Replacement surgery is suggested only when all other options have been exhausted. Our Joint Replacement Center Experts are dedicated to treating patients with the most effective course of treatment available.
Alternative Joint Treatments
Anterior Total Hip Arhroplasty
Total hip arthroplasty is a treatment option for severe hip arthritis. There are several hip arthroplasty approaches. The newest and least invasive is an anterior approach. Carolina Orthopaedic and Neurosurgical Associates’ (CONA) joint replacement experts specialize in anterior approach total hip arthroplasty.
Primary & Revision Hip & Knee Arthroplasty
Primary total joint arthroplasty treats severe arthritis that does not respond to nonsurgical treatment. Revision total joint arthroplasty replaces primary total joint arthroplasty components with new ones. Carolina Orthopaedic and Neurosurgical Associates’ (CONA) total joint replacement specialists perform primary and revision hip and knee arthroplasty.
