Understanding Joint Reconstruction & Replacement

Joint reconstruction and replacement surgery can be life-changing for those experiencing chronic joint pain or reduced mobility due to injury, arthritis, or other conditions. These procedures are designed to restore function, reduce pain, and help patients return to the activities they enjoy. Our orthopedic specialists use advanced techniques and provide personalized care to ensure the best possible outcomes for every patient.

Joint reconstruction involves repairing and restoring the function of a joint without completely replacing it. This approach is often preferred when the joint damage is not extensive, allowing for preservation of the patient's natural joint. Benefits of joint reconstruction include:

  • Temporary Relief: Provides relief from pain and improved joint function.
  • Shorter Recovery Time: Generally involves a quicker and easier recovery compared to joint replacement.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: May be associated with lower costs compared to joint replacement.

Common joint reconstruction procedures include ligament reconstruction, arthroscopy, and osteotomy. These procedures are suitable for joints such as the ankle, elbow, shoulder, knee, and hip.

In cases where joint damage is severe, joint replacement surgery may be recommended. This procedure involves removing the damaged joint and replacing it with an artificial prosthesis made of metal, plastic, or ceramic. Joint replacement is commonly performed on weight-bearing joints like the hip and knee but can also be done on the shoulder and elbow. Benefits include:

  • Long-Term Relief: Offers significant and lasting relief from joint pain.
  • Improved Mobility: Enhances joint function and overall quality of life.

Advanced Surgical Solutions for Joint Reconstruction and Replacement

Lee Health is leading the way in orthopedic care with advanced robotic-assisted surgical options for joint reconstruction and replacement. These state-of-the-art technologies enhance precision, improve outcomes, and accelerate recovery, offering patients cutting-edge solutions for their joint care needs.

Our specialists begin with a comprehensive evaluation, using advanced imaging and diagnostic techniques to assess the extent of joint damage and understand your unique needs. Factors such as age, activity level, overall health, and lifestyle goals are carefully considered to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to you.

  • Joint Reconstruction: When joint damage is moderate and preservation of the natural joint is possible, we offer procedures such as ligament repair or arthroscopy. These minimally invasive options maintain more of your natural joint function and often result in shorter recovery times.
  • Joint Replacement: For severe joint damage, joint replacement may be the most effective solution. Using advanced surgical techniques and durable prosthetics, our surgeons focus on restoring mobility, reducing pain, and ensuring long-term comfort.

Your care team will guide you every step of the way, helping you choose the best option to achieve your goals and get back to the activities you love.
