Your Joint Replacement Surgery Questions, Answered


An ideal candidate for joint replacement surgery is typically someone experiencing persistent joint pain that significantly impacts their daily life and limits their ability to perform routine activities. This may include individuals suffering from conditions like advanced osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or other degenerative joint disorders that haven’t responded well to conservative treatments such as physical therapy or medication.

Candidates should also be in generally good health, as successful surgery and recovery often depend on resilience to heal and participate in rehabilitation. During your consultation, we will assess your specific situation and discuss whether joint replacement surgery is the right option for you.


Recovery from joint replacement surgery can vary from person to person, as it depends on factors like which joint was replaced and your general health. On average, you might spend about 6 to 12 weeks focusing on rehabilitation, but everyone heals at their own pace. Rest assured, our team is here to create a personalized recovery plan that helps you get back to your daily activities and regain your strength and mobility as smoothly as possible.


Getting back to driving after joint replacement surgery is an important milestone, and typically, you can expect to resume driving within 4 to 6 weeks after your procedure. However, this can vary based on how well you recover, your mobility, and whether you’re off any pain medications. We’ll keep an eye on your progress during your follow-up visits, and we’ll provide guidance to ensure you’re ready and it’s safe to hit the road again.


At the Center for Advanced Joint Replacement, we take pride in our innovative surgical techniques that focus on making your experience as comfortable and efficient as possible.
