What is Joint Reconstruction?

Healthy joint ends have a cushioned layer of cartilage to protect the bones, which prevents them from rubbing together painfully. Over time, this cartilage can slowly wear away, leaving the joints unprotected and painful. While these injuries are more common in athletes and older people, younger patients with joint disorders such as arthritis can benefit from joint reconstruction as well.

Our top-rated orthopedic surgeons will assess your pain levels and medical history and offer solutions ranging from minor repairs to total joint replacements. There’s no reason to live with pain; schedule a consult now.

Joint Reconstruction FAQs

Who is a candidate for joint reconstruction surgery?

You may be a candidate for joint reconstruction if chronic joint pain, stiffness, or limited mobility is affecting your daily activities and has not improved with conservative treatments such as physical therapy, medications, or injections. Many patients seek joint reconstruction due to arthritis, joint degeneration, or injury.

What is the difference between joint reconstruction and total joint replacement?

Joint reconstruction refers to a range of procedures designed to restore joint function, which may include repairing or reshaping damaged joint surfaces. Total joint replacement is a type of joint reconstruction where the damaged joint is replaced with an artificial implant. Your orthopedic surgeon will recommend the best option based on your condition, age, and activity level.

How long does recovery take after joint reconstruction surgery?

Recovery times vary depending on the joint treated and the procedure performed. Many patients begin physical therapy shortly after surgery and see gradual improvements over several weeks to months. Minimally invasive techniques may allow for faster recovery and reduced postoperative discomfort.

Does joint reconstruction relieve pain permanently?

Joint reconstruction is designed to significantly reduce or eliminate joint pain and improve mobility. While outcomes vary, most patients experience long-lasting pain relief and improved quality of life when following their recommended rehabilitation plan.

When should I see an orthopedic surgeon for joint pain?

If joint pain limits your ability to walk, exercise, sleep, or enjoy daily activities—or if pain persists despite rest and treatment—it may be time to consult an orthopedic specialist to discuss joint reconstruction options.
