Total Joint Replacement

Joint replacement may be considered when nonsurgical methods no longer relieve pain and/or improve mobility. Hips and knees are the joints replaced most often. Surgery for hip replacement patients, for example, can help reduce problems walking up and down stairs or make it easier to stand from a seated position.

Hip Replacement

Some of the most common reasons for hip replacement surgery include hip damage, such as a fracture, and osteoarthritis, a loss of joint cartilage that limits movement. Both can cause pain and inhibit daily activity.

Knee Replacement

Surgical options are total knee replacement, partial knee replacement, kneecap replacement or revision or complex knee replacement.

Times have changed. Advances in technology, medicine, and pain control have created a world where joint replacement procedures can be done better, safer, and more efficiently than ever before.

For the right patient, the same-day surgical option for joint replacement exists here at Hacienda Surgery Center. All of our programs are physician-led and patient-centered to ensure all of your care, outcomes, and personal health needs are between you and the doctor you trust. Safety and quality are our highest priorities, and our program is based on clinical best practices and evidence-based medicine.

Ideal candidates are:

• Active
• Healthy
• Not overweight or obese
• In generally good physical condition
• Highly motivated

You must have an available care partner to accompany you when you attend our myJOINT Health Joint Class, be here on the day of surgery, and stay with you when you return home the same day or next day, after your surgery.

The above guidelines are general. Your physician will have his or her own criteria to determine if you’re a good candidate for outpatient joint replacement.
