Every year, over 600,000 knee replacement surgeries are carried out in the United States. Over 90 percent of patients experience a dramatic improvement in pain levels and mobility. As long as the patient follows the surgeon’s instructions for knee care, in 90 percent of cases, a replacement knee still functions well after 15 years, and 80 to 85 percent of replacements last 20 years.

The best orthopedic doctors says that it is equally important to ensure post-surgery care for the speediest and safest recovery after a hip surgery. If you are suffering from painful hips, hip replacement surgery may be just what you need! During a hip replacement, your surgeon removes the surfaces of the joint that have been damaged, replacing them with prosthesis. The pain is alleviated because the diseased cartilage and bone are no longer present. The implants utilized in hip replacement procedures are created to be accepted by your body, and constructed to resist corrosion, degradation and wear.

Much like any invasive treatment, hip replacement is usually the last resort, opted only after exhausting other non-invasive measures that didn’t yield the desired outcome. So, if medications, physical therapy, and other alternatives have failed, the doctor would usually recommend hip replacement surgery to fix the hip problem. Admittedly, risks exist – as they do in every invasive treatment. Undesired outcomes from hip replacement surgery are very rare. So, to answer one part of the question, hip replacement is highly safe.

Because the hand is a finely coordinated tool that must function correctly for so many everyday activities, the Orthopaedic Specialists of New Orleans advise that even a relatively minor finger injury can lead to some loss of function. Finger injuries are common and range from minor cuts and scrapes to wounds with major damage to bone, tendons, and ligaments. If not treated properly by a New Orleans orthopaedic specialist, serious finger injuries can lead to permanent deformity and loss of function. Careful treatment will allow for a faster and more complete recovery.

OrthoBiologics are an innovative area of Regenerative Medicine that uses the body's own cells and healing factors to potentially reverse debilitating effects of osteoarthritis and accelerate healing of tendon and/or ligament injuries (rotator cuff tendonitis, ankle sprain, etc). Orthobiologics is a rapidly developing practice that uses biomaterials and cell-based therapies to help patients heal from within. These treatments provide exciting alternatives to traditional orthopedic procedures, as they are not as invasive as traditional methods and in most cases are more effective.
