Over time, the wear and tear we place on our joints—whether from age, injury, or chronic conditions—can lead to persistent pain and limited mobility. At The Orthopaedic Group, P.C., our specialty-trained joint replacement surgeons are here to help you reclaim your quality of life.
Whether you’re considering a first-time joint replacement or require a joint revision to improve or correct a previous implant, our team offers the highest level of care in hip, knee, and shoulder replacements.
When Is Joint Replacement Needed?
You may be a candidate for joint replacement surgery if you’re experiencing:
- Severe or chronic joint pain
- Pain that interferes with sleep
- Difficulty with daily activities like climbing stairs or standing
- Limited participation in sports or recreation
- Little to no relief from conservative treatments (therapy, medication, injections)
The most commonly replaced joints are the hip, knee, and shoulder, and our surgeons perform a full range of procedures, including total joint replacements, partial replacements, and joint resurfacing.
Hip Replacement: Anterior and Posterior Approaches
We have specialists in both Mobile and Baldwin County who are highly trained in both the anterior and posterior approaches to hip replacement.
- The anterior approach is muscle-sparing and may allow for quicker recovery and less post-operative pain.
- The posterior approach is a well-established method that provides excellent long-term outcomes.
At The Orthopaedic Group, P.C., we tailor our approach to each patient’s anatomy, lifestyle, and overall health to deliver the best possible results.
Types of Knee Replacements
Knee pain can come from arthritis, injury, or long-term wear and tear. At The Orthopaedic Group, P.C., we offer several types of knee replacement procedures tailored to your needs:
- Total Knee Replacement (TKR):
The most common procedure, replacing the entire joint surface of the knee with a durable artificial implant. - Partial Knee Replacement (PKR):
Ideal for patients with damage confined to one part of the knee. This less invasive option preserves more of your natural joint and can offer a faster recovery. - Knee Revision Surgery:
If a previous implant wears out, loosens, or becomes painful, a revision procedure may be necessary to restore comfort and function. - Custom Knee Implants:
For certain patients, we offer patient-specific implants designed based on detailed imaging of your knee to ensure an optimal fit.
Shoulder Replacement Options
When arthritis, rotator cuff damage, or fractures lead to ongoing shoulder pain and limited motion, shoulder replacement may be the solution. Our surgeons perform several advanced procedures based on your condition:
- Total Shoulder Replacement:
Replaces the damaged ball and socket of the shoulder with a smooth, artificial joint to relieve pain and improve function. - Reverse Shoulder Replacement:
Ideal for patients with severe rotator cuff damage. This approach reverses the joint position to rely on different muscles to lift the arm. - Partial Shoulder Replacement (Hemiarthroplasty):
In some cases, only the ball of the joint needs to be replaced, especially after certain fractures. - Shoulder Revision Surgery:
If a previous implant has failed, become painful, or worn out, our specialists can revise and restore function with an updated solution.
Our shoulder surgeons work closely with patients to create customized treatment plans that promote healing, mobility, and long-term success.
