Orthopedic care
Orthopedists are doctors who take care of the entire musculoskeletal system. They diagnose and treat conditions such as sprains, strains, broken bones, arthritis and osteoporosis. Some of the treatments they offer include recommending lifestyle changes, applying casts and performing surgeries, such as ligament repairs or total joint replacements.

Joint replacement surgery
The goal of joint replacement surgery is to relieve pain and restore function to the affected area. You may be a candidate for joint replacement surgery if:
- Nonsurgical treatments, such as anti-inflammatory drugs, steroid injections and physical therapy, have failed to provide relief
- Moderate to severe arthritis is affecting your joint
- Pain in your joint is present even when resting, or pain affects your ability to fall or stay sleep
- Stiffness or reduced range of motion affects everyday activities
Knee replacement surgery
Knee replacement is often recommended if you have an arthritic knee joint, which is caused by the wearing down of cartilage. Knee replacement surgery can help restore range of motion, minimize pain and allow you to move more easily.
Hip replacement surgery
Cartilage in the hips can wear down due to age, an injury or a chronic disease. A hip replacement can restore range of motion and eliminate joint pain. However, surgery is only recommended after careful consideration and a thorough diagnosis.
Shoulder replacement surgery
Shoulder replacement involves replacing all or part of the shoulder joint with a prosthetic implant. This procedure can help relieve arthritis pain or repair severe joint damage.
