Joint Resurfacing<\/h3>\n

Joint resurfacing is when an orthopedic surgeon removes as little damaged cartilage and bone as possible and then replaces it with a plastic or metal cap, unlike a joint replacement which removes the bone and damaged socket then replaces the whole joint with a prosthetic, or artificial joint.<\/p>\n

The benefits of joint resurfacing include:<\/h5>\n
    \n
  • Easier revisions \u2013 most resurfacing and joint replacement procedures last between 10 and 20 years. However, when a revision is needed, many orthopedic surgeons believe it is less complicated and easier on the patient to revise a resurfacing because it conserves more of the original joint.<\/li>\n
  • Less chance for dislocation \u2013 because the whole joint is not removed and the prosthetic is closer to the size of the natural joint, it is less likely the joint will become dislocated.<\/li>\n
  • More natural movement \u2013 people who undergo joint resurfacing reserve more of the natural movement of their joint.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    You may be a candidate for joint resurfacing if:<\/h5>\n
      \n
    • You have advanced arthritis in isolated joints<\/li>\n
    • Have tried and failed at conservative treatment options like medications, injections, or physical therapy<\/li>\n
    • Are younger than 60 years of age<\/li>\n
    • Physically fit and strong with generally healthy bone<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
