Are You Ready for Joint Replacement?

The joint replacement doctors at Southern California Orthopedic Institute say if you’re experiencing the following symptoms, you may be ready for a joint replacement procedure.

• Joint pain that keeps you awake, or awakens you, at night


• Joint pain that limits you from participating in activities you enjoy, such as exercising, traveling, walking, or shopping


• You have tried conservative treatment methods for a reasonable amount of time, and you are still experiencing persistent joint pain

You and your doctor may consider several other factors when determining whether a joint replacement procedure is the right choice for you.

“Your age, overall health, and bone density contribute to whether you’re ready to undergo a joint replacement procedure,” explains Dr. Marc J. Friedman, joint replacement surgeon at Southern California Orthopedic Institute.
