Joint Replacement Cincinnati

Arthritis is the leading cause of chronic joint pain and instability. When non-surgical methods no longer provide relief, you may need surgery. Dr. Arthur Lee is a leader in joint replacement surgery, utilizing the latest techniques and state-of-the-art technology.

Our onsite digital x-rays assist Dr. Lee in the diagnosis of joint injuries. He may perform arthroscopy to help determine which surgery or type of artificial joint is best for you.

Before considering joint replacement, one of the non-surgical treatments Dr. Lee recommends includes viscosupplementation, an onsite treatment in which fluid is injected into the knee to improve lubrication and reduce painful bone-on-bone rubbing.

Joint Replacement, Revision and Resurfacing

Joint replacement surgery, also called arthroplasty, involves removing the damaged portion of the hip or knee and replacing it with an artificial joint that allows for pain-free movement.

When performing knee replacements, Dr. Lee uses Verilast® 30-year wear materials and Visionaire® patient-matched technology to create the strongest custom-made replacement possible. With Visionaire technology, a computer creates a digital “block” to guide in the creation of an artificial joint that is custom made to fit you perfectly.

In addition, implant technology called OXINIUM® oxidized zirconium is now available. OXINIUM can provide greater lubrication and reduced abrasion for the smoothest possible function.

Revision surgery is performed to remove a previously implanted artificial joint and replace it with a new one. Revision arthroplasty may be necessary for a number of reasons. The artificial joint may loosen, infection may develop in the joint, one of the bones around the joint may be fractured, or part of the implant may break or wear down.

Joint resurfacing is unlike traditional total joint replacement, as the bones in the joint are not removed, but instead resurfaced with smooth metal. Hip and knee resurfacing conserves bone and is a less-invasive procedure than total joint replacement.
