Indicators for Needing a Joint Replacement
Total joint replacement is a surgical procedure usually reserved for patients who have severe arthritic conditions. Circumstances vary, but generally patients are considered for total joint replacement if:
- Functional limitations restrict not only work and recreation, but also daily life
- Nonsurgical treatments and physical therapy is ineffective
- Stiffness in the joint is significant
- X-rays show advanced degeneration of the joint or other problems

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a joint replacement last?
Current implant design is better than it has ever been. In general, each year after surgery adds 0.5-1% risk of revision. At 10 years following hip/knee replacement, there is a 90-95% chance that your joint will still function as intended.
When can I return to work?
It depends on your profession and the joint affected. If you have a sedentary or desk job, you may return to work in approximately 4-6 weeks. If your work is more labor intensive, it may take 3 months before you can return fully.
When can I drive?
On the day of your surgery, you will need to arrange a ride home following the procedure. Typically, patients can return to driving as soon as 4-6 weeks following surgery. You should not drive while on narcotics and should discuss driving with your surgeon before doing so.
What should I wear on the day of surgery?
On the day of your surgery, wear comfortable, loose clothing that is easy to get into. If undergoing shoulder surgery, a large front-buttoning shirt is preferred. You will also be asked to remove any jewelry, contact lenses, partial dentures, or bridge work.
