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. ##### JOINT CARE ## Common Joint Replacements ![pelvis](https://carolinaona.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/pelvis.png "Joint Replacement") #### Total Hip Replacements Total hip replacement is an advanced and effective orthopaedic procedure.

Our Joint Replacement Center Experts are dedicated to treating patients with the most effective course of treatment available. ##### Customized Non-Surgical Treatments Before Surgery Not every joint problem requires surgery. At Carolina Orthopaedics & Neurosurgical Associates our physicians are dedicated to exploring and implementing non-surgical options whenever feasible. Patients are evaluated for therapy, bracing or splinting, oral or injectable medications, activity modification, physical rehabilitation, and lifestyle adjustments. By treating joint disorders early on and carefully monitoring progression, many individuals delay or avoid joint replacement altogether, managing symptoms in ways that preserve joint function and minimize pain. ##### Knee Replacement Expertise: Total and Partial Knee Arthroplasty Our [knee joint replacement ](https://carolinaona.com/total-knee-replacement/)services cover both total and partial knee arthroplasty for those whose joints are impacted by arthritis or cartilage loss. When a knee is affected in just one compartment, partial knee replacement may be sufficient. For more extensive damage, total knee replacement is performed using state-of-the-art implants designed to mimic natural joint motion, reduce pain, and improve stability. Postoperative recovery at [Carolina Orthopaedics & Neurosurgical Associates](https://carolinaona.com/) emphasizes physical therapy, gait training, pain control, and a gradual return to full activity. The goal is not only a successful surgical outcome, but also long- term joint health and functional strength. ##### Hip Replacement Solutions: Total, Partial & Revision When hip pain from [arthritis](https://carolinaona.com/orthopedic-hip-surgery/hip-arthritis/), [fracture,](https://carolinaona.com/orthopedic-hip-surgery/hip-fracture/) or osteonecrosis reduces mobility, our hip specialists provide both total hip replacement and partial hip replacement options tailored to the patient’s needs. Our surgeons are also experienced in performing revision hip replacement for those who have had previous hip surgery and require implant replacement or correction. The anterior approach to hip replacement is one technique we offer that can lead to less tissue disruption, faster recovery, and fewer movement restrictions during healing. ##### Restoring Shoulder, Elbow, and Wrist Function Joint replacement isn’t limited to hips and knees. Patients with severe shoulder arthritis or [rotator cuff damage](https://carolinaona.com/rotator-cuff-tear/) may benefit from reverse total shoulder replacement. When [elbow joints](https://carolinaona.com/orthopedic-elbow-surgery/) are arthritic and nonsurgical treatment fails, total elbow replacement provides a path toward improved motion and reduced pain. Wrist joint replacement is another specialty, addressing arthritis that has significantly decreased wrist mobility or quality of life. At Carolina Orthopaedics & Neurosurgical Associates, each upper extremity joint replacement is performed by award-winning specialists who understand the unique anatomy and demands of the shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints. ##### Same-Day Outpatient Joint Replacement & Faster Recovery Our Joint Replacement Center provides “Same-Day” [Outpatient Joint Replacement](https://carolinaona.com/outpatient-joint-replacement/) options for properly qualified candidates, using our Ambulatory Surgery Center to facilitate a safe return home on the day of surgery.
