Joint Replacement Surgery in Hilton Head Island, SC
Hip, knee, and shoulder joints undergo an incredible amount of pressure and, over time, can become susceptible to arthritis, wear, and even injury. Joint replacement surgery can help patients reclaim their mobility, relieve pain, and get back to the active lifestyles that they previously enjoyed. Thankfully, joint replacement technology has made leaps and bounds in recent years.
The surgeons and staff at Orthopedic Associates of the Lowcountry can provide you with less-invasive knee, shoulder, or hip replacement surgery that you need to get your body back in action. Minimally invasive joint replacement requires less soft-tissue dissection compared to a traditional procedure. Both use the same artificial implants, although the surgeon will use specially designed instruments to prepare the socket and bones in order to properly place the implants.
There are numerous benefits associated with minimally invasive joint replacement surgery in Hilton Head Island compared to the traditional method of surgery, including:
- Smaller Incisions
- Reduced Blood Loss
- Less Muscle Damage
- Less Discomfort After the Procedure
- Shorter Hospital Stay
- Faster Rehabilitation
- Earlier Return to Work
Joint replacement surgery, whether traditional or minimally invasive, is performed to help decrease pain, increase mobility, and improve quality of life. It may be recommended if other treatment methods, such as exercise, walking aids, or medication are not effective. Should you be a candidate for joint replacement surgery, we can help restore your quality of life with specific implants that suit your individual activity level.
