Treatment Methods
At times, before your provider will recommend a joint replacement, they may first try reduce symptoms using a non-surgical method. In cases where these conservative methods prove ineffective, or in the case there your condition warrants surgery, your provider will discuss your surgical options with you. Paris Orthopedics offers both minimally-invasive and open surgery options.
- Non-Surgical Treatment Methods: Prior to a joint replacement, your physician may recommend treating your condition with one of the following:
- Physical therapy
- Bracing
- Anti-inflammatory drugs
- Cortisone injections
- Viscosupplementation
- Minimally-Invasive Procedures; When possible, the providers at Paris Orthopedic prefer to use minimally-invasive joint replacement procedures. Minimally-invasive joint replacement procedures include joint realignment, ligament reconstruction, and arthroscopy, which are performed through tiny incisions.The benefits of minimally-invasive surgery include a quicker and easier recovery, in most cases. Through the use of advanced techniques and tools, most minimally invasive surgeries are able to be performed as outpatient procedures, meaning you get to go home the same day.
- Open Surgical Procedures: In certain cases, your provider may recommend an open surgical procedure for your joint replacement. If this is the case, you can rest easy knowing you are in good hands. Our surgeons goal is to restore the joint function and improve mobility and they always have your best interests in mind.
