Total Joint Replacement
Return to Healthy, Active Living
When arthritis, sustained injuries, or sports-related wear affect the knee, hip, or shoulder joints, causing pain and limiting function, joint replacement can help restore mobility and support an active, fulfilling life. Most patients benefit from returning to activities like walking, cycling, and sports after rehabilitation.
The Joint Commission recognizes Baylor Scott & White Surgical Hospital at Las Colinas as a Center of Excellence for Total Knee & Hip Replacement, reflecting our dedication to comprehensive care tailored to individual needs.
Whether your situation involves joint wear over time or recovery from sports injuries, our program is designed to help you restore movement and improve function.
Am I a Candidate for a Total Joint Replacement?
If you’re experiencing persistent pain, difficulty with daily activities, or reduced mobility despite conservative treatments, you may be a candidate for a joint replacement. Common reasons include:
- Arthritis (including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis)
- Sports-related injuries such as fractures, dislocations, or severe soft tissue damage
- Conditions like osteonecrosis
- Hip dysplasia (hip joint malformation)
- Joint damage from trauma or injury that hasn’t responded to other treatments
- When non-surgical methods—such as medication, physical therapy, activity modifications—do not provide sufficient pain relief or functional improvement
Our team can help determine if joint replacement is suitable for your specific needs and lifestyle.
