Arthritis That's Affecting Your Everyday Life
Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can lead to chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. If more conservative treatments no longer provide relief, joint replacement may be the next step. Our joint specialists treat advanced arthritis, providing lasting relief and restored function
Joint Damage From Past Accidents or Overuse
Accidents, fractures, or dislocations can cause lasting joint damage, especially if they didn’t heal properly. Over time, these injuries may lead to joint instability, pain, and limited movement. Whether you’re dealing with a recent injury or joint damage from long-term use, our team can help you heal and be active again.
When Simple Movements Become a Struggle
Struggling with daily tasks like climbing stairs, getting in and out of a car, or standing for long periods of time may be a sign of progressive joint damage. The team of joint specialists here at LAOSS offers expert evaluations to determine whether joint replacement can restore your mobility and independence.
Persistent Joint Pain With No Relief in Sight
If you’re living with ongoing joint pain or stiffness despite less invasive treatments like injections, physical therapy, or rest, it may be time to explore a more definitive treatment such as surgery. LAOSS’s joint specialists provide advanced diagnostics and surgical solutions when non-surgical care no longer gives you relief.
Is Total Joint Replacement Right For You?
We understand that choosing surgery is a big decision, and it’s one that you shouldn’t have to make alone. We’ll help you figure out what’s next with clarity, compassion, and evidence-based care.
Before recommending surgery, we explore non-surgical care like physical therapy, joint injections, bracing, and modified activities. Our goal is to help you avoid surgery when possible and to deliver the best outcomes when it’s the right choice. But when those options no longer provide sufficient relief, total joint replacement may offer the best path forward.
Here’s what you can expect during your evaluation with an LAOSS joint specialist:
- A detailed conversation about your pain, movement limitations, goals, and past treatments
- A targeted physical exam to assess stability, strength, and function
- On-site X-ray (referral for MRI or CT as needed) to pinpoint joint damage
- A thoughtful, personalized discussion of next steps, including whether you’re a surgical candidate now or later

Surgical Procedures Performed by Our Total Joint Specialists
If surgery is needed, our doctors will walk you through the procedure they recommend in order to help you heal and get back to doing what you love. We will always personalize every surgical plan to match your needs, goals, and lifestyle.
Let our orthopedic team help you find the best path forward.
Partial Knee Replacement
A partial knee replacement can help when damage is limited to just one section of the knee. In this case, only the affected area is replaced, preserving healthy bone and ligaments. This approach typically involves smaller incisions, a quicker recovery, and a more natural-feeling joint.
Total Knee Replacement
A total knee replacement is recommended when arthritis or degeneration affects the entire knee. Our surgeons will remove the damaged cartilage and bone, then insert smooth, durable implants that restore movement and reduce pain.
Partial Hip Replacement
A partial hip replacement may be appropriate in select cases, such as certain hip fractures, where only the femoral head (the ball of the joint) is damaged. This approach preserves more of your natural anatomy and may lead to a faster recovery.
Total Hip Replacement
A total hip replacement is often recommended for advanced arthritis or significant joint damage. The procedure involves replacing the damaged ball-and-socket joint with smooth, durable implants that restore function and reduce pain.
Robotic-Assisted Joint Replacement
Some of our doctors also perform Mako robotic-assisted hip and knee joint replacements. This technique involves computer-guided surgical planning and robotics tools for smaller incisions, better precision, and faster recovery.

Does total joint replacement surgery hurt?
Total joint replacement is a major surgery, so some discomfort during recovery is expected. However, most patients report that any post-surgical pain is far less significant than the chronic pain they experienced before surgery. At LAOSS, we use advanced techniques and personalized pain management plans to help you heal comfortably.
What are the risks of total joint replacement surgery?
Like any major surgery, total joint replacement carries some risks, including infection, blood clots, implant loosening, or nerve injury. However, these complications are rare, especially when surgery is performed by experienced specialists. Our expert surgeons at LAOSS use strict safety protocols and advanced surgical methods to minimize risks and support a smooth, successful recovery.
How can I prepare for my total joint replacement surgery?
Preparing for total joint replacement starts with a thorough consultation. We’ll review your health history, provide pre-surgical instructions, and may recommend lifestyle adjustments like exercise, weight management, or stopping certain medications. Planning ahead, such as arranging transportation, home safety, and post-op support, can also ease your recovery.
What can I expect after total joint replacement surgery?
After your total joint replacement surgery, you can expect some initial discomfort, followed by steady improvements in mobility and pain relief. Most patients begin walking with support the same day or next day. Your recovery will continue over the following weeks with physical therapy, and we will guide your post-op care closely so that you can get back to daily activities safely.
