Resurgens Orthopaedics, an affiliate of OrthoLink Free Seminar Join the Georgia Joint Replacement Center and Richard W. Cohen, M.D. to learn about the different causes of arthritic knee and hip pain. Discover the available treatment options to control the symptoms associated with knee and hip pain, allowing easier, pain-free movement. The joint replacement procedure replaces destroyed or worn-out joint surfaces with new, uniform surfaces of metal and plastic.
Most joint replacements result from a wearing of the joints, known as degenerative arthritis.
Joint replacements are no longer preformed solely for the older arthritic patients. Today, younger patients can have successful long-lasting replacements of the hips, knees and shoulders due to the introduction of the bony ingrowth prothesis and the refined techniques of insertion. The staff of Georgia Joint Replacement Center specializes in replacement surgery with doctors, anesthesiologists, nurses, physical therapists, physician's assistants, surgical coordinators and social services personnel.
