Understanding total joint replacement If you have a painful joint and nonsurgical treatments haven’t worked, your doctor may suggest joint replacement surgery. Most people who have a joint replaced are able to get back to an active lifestyle with less pain. Routine tasks, like walking and getting out of a chair, may be easier again. Techniques used to replace joints include: ● Traditional joint replacement. The joint is replaced through a long incision. ● Minimally invasive joint replacement. The joint is replaced through smaller incisions, and less tissue is cut. This may result in less pain after surgery and a quicker recovery. ● Robotic-assisted hip and knee replacement. During roboticassisted surgery, the surgeon creates a 3D model of the joint. Computer mapping helps ensure a precise fit. Tiny robotic instruments, directed by the surgeon, remove the damaged joint and replace it with the artificial joint while preserving the healthy tissue around the site.
