Get Back to Living: Quality of Life After point Replacement

Imagine struggling to get out of bed each and every day, despite using every ounce of determination, because of unrelenting hip and knee pain. Think of the difficulty of donning socks and shoes when you can’t raise your leg and cross it over your other leg. What if you couldn't comb your hair because your shoulder pain precluded you from raising your arm? These are some of the symptoms of end-stage degenerative joint disease of the hip, knee, and shoulder which can erode the dignity of our lives.

Total joint replacement can restore our simple quality-of-life and give such individuals a new lease on life. Data shows that the majority of patients return to gainful employment, no matter the intensity of their occupation. With a joint replacement, patients can also return to sporting activities of their choice and pursue a healthy lifestyle. Most joint replacement procedures take approximately one hour, and the vast majority of patients are home within twenty four hours and experiencing recovery within a matter of weeks. Furthermore, our current technology has increased the life expectancy of these implants.

Come learn about total joint replacement from the orthopedic surgeons at Joint Implant Surgeons, who have been improving the quality of lives of patients since 1972 when the founder, Dr. Mallory, performed the first total hip replacement in all of Ohio. Joint Implant Surgeons are world-renowned at outpatient joint replacement, minimally invasive hip replacement, and partial knee replacement, and they are right here in New Albany, ready to answer all your questions related to joint replacement surgery!
