Joint Replacement
Partial and total joint replacement, or arthroplasty, is a type of surgery used to help patients who have severe joint damage involving the bone, cartilage, or other tissues. Ankle, knee, shoulder, and hip problems this severe are often due to various forms of arthritis and other degenerative conditions. Joint replacement surgery, like a hip or knee replacement, is recommended when chronic hip or knee pain is not improved through nonsurgical treatment options and is performed to replace the old, damaged hip or knee joint with a new joint implant.
With extensive training and surgical experience in joint anatomy, orthopedic surgery, total and partial joint replacement, reconstructive joint surgery, and nonsurgical orthopedic care, our joint replacement experts at Advanced Orthopedics of Oklahoma will understand every aspect of your joint condition and help you heal, recover, and advance.

Our joint surgery experts will develop a tailored, comprehensive treatment plan for every patient, using an approach that will best serve that patient and recommending treatments other than surgery first.
