Total Joint Replacement Center of Excellence
OrthoIndy total joint replacement surgeons specialize in replacing a joint damaged by trauma or arthritis with an artificial joint. It is now possible to replace most joints of the body. OrthoIndy total joint replacement surgeons focus on hip or knee replacement surgeries. However, some specialty physicians also do replacements on damaged joints other than the hip and knee.
When non-surgical treatments have failed, inpatient joint replacement surgery may eliminate joint pain and restore range of motion.
