Arthroplasty, also called joint replacement, is surgery to replace a damaged joint with an artificial joint (made of metal, ceramic or plastic). Joint replacement is a vital service in physical therapy and sports medicine that assists patients in regaining mobility, building strength, and achieving full recovery through post-surgical orthopedic therapy.
Providers usually replace the entire joint (total joint replacement). Less often, they replace only the damaged part of the joint. Hips, knees and shoulders are the most common joints they replace.
