Expert Surgical and Non-Surgical Solutions for Lasting Mobility

What is Joint Replacement?

Joint replacement is a surgical procedure that removes damaged or diseased parts of a joint and replaces them with artificial implants made from durable materials. This restores smoother motion, reduces pain, and helps patients return to daily life. The most common joint replacements are for the hip, knee, and shoulder.

Joint replacement is a proven solution for restoring mobility and relieving pain caused by arthritis, injury, or joint degeneration. Dr. Kofi focuses on precise surgical planning, conservative management, and efficient recovery strategies to ensure the best possible outcome.

Our Commitment to a Smooth Care Experience

What is the Joint Replacement procedure like?

On surgery day, you’ll arrive at the surgical center and meet with Dr. Kofi to review your plan. After anesthesia, the damaged parts of the joint are carefully removed and replaced with a prosthetic implant designed to mimic natural movement. The surgery typically lasts a few hours. Most patients stay in the hospital for a short period after hip or knee replacement, while some shoulder replacements may be outpatient. Before you leave, you’ll receive clear instructions for your recovery and follow-up plan.

Why Patients Choose Joint Replacement

What conditions does Joint Replacement address?

Joint replacement is most often used to treat severe arthritis, chronic joint pain, or damage from injuries that can’t be managed with medication, injections, or physical therapy. Patients struggling with daily tasks, such as walking, climbing stairs, or lifting their arms, often find relief through this procedure. By replacing the worn joint with a smooth artificial implant, pain decreases, stiffness improves, and mobility returns.

From Pain to Freedom of Movement

What are the benefits of Joint Replacement?

The primary benefit of joint replacement is freedom from the constant pain caused by arthritis or injury. Patients often notice increased mobility, reduced stiffness, and a renewed ability to perform everyday tasks without discomfort. In the long term, the implants are designed to provide durable results, enabling patients to walk, bend, lift, or exercise with greater ease. With Dr. Kofi, the benefit extends beyond the surgery itself: you’ll receive clear guidance, realistic expectations, and a plan tailored to your goals.

When Conservative Care Isn’t Enough

Am I a candidate for Joint Replacement?

You may be a candidate if you have chronic joint pain, stiffness, or mobility issues that haven’t improved with non-surgical treatments. Joint replacement is most often recommended for patients whose pain interferes with daily life or sleep. Dr. Kofi will review your medical history, imaging, and lifestyle to determine if this is the best option for you.

Physical Therapy and the Road to Healing

Joint Replacement Recovery

Recovery times vary by procedure, but most patients begin physical therapy shortly after surgery to regain movement and strength. Walking aids, such as crutches or walkers, are common early on. While some improvement is noticeable within weeks, a full recovery can take months. With Dr. Kofi, you’ll leave with a clear recovery plan and ongoing support so you know exactly what to expect at every stage.

Life After Joint Replacement Surgery

Joint Replacement Results

When can I see results?

Most patients experience significant pain relief soon after surgery, with mobility improving steadily as therapy continues.

How long does Joint Replacement last?

Implants are built to last—often 15–20 years or longer, depending on activity levels and overall health. For many, joint replacement offers a second chance at an active, pain-free lifestyle, allowing them to return to the work, activities, and independence they value most.
