Joint Preservation is the use of non-surgical or surgical means to preserve a deteriorating joint to delay or avoid joint replacement surgery. Joint preservation procedures reduce the risk of complications from implant surgery and infection. When cartilage deteriorates due to osteoarthritis, it causes persistent joint pain that interferes with daily life. Our consultants will aim to restore normal movement and alleviate pain in the joint whether it’s a shoulder, hip, knee, or ankle. If you have recurring or chronic joint pain, you may think joint replacement surgery is your only option for relief. However, you may want to explore several less invasive options first to help maintain mobility as you age. With millions of people wanting to stay active into their 60s, 70s, and beyond, much recent research has focused on joint health and replacement technology.
