Excellence in Joint Care: What to Expect
At Advanced Center for Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, our revision doctors strive to provide the best joint care available in northwest Kentucky.
Our revision experts have extensive knowledge about joint replacement as well as the different types of joint-related problems patients may experience. They also understand that each patient is unique. That’s why our surgeons are committed to taking a patient-centered approach to care to provide each patient with the best treatment solution.
When developing a personalized treatment plan, our joint revision doctors will first recommend any applicable conservative treatment options. These nonsurgical treatments may include receiving physical therapy from a physical therapist or taking over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication. Many times, these measures can bring about gradual improvements that can greatly reduce or eliminate the pain you are experiencing.
However, if nonoperative care is not effective or the problem is severe, our joint revision surgeons will discuss your surgical options and help you determine if revision surgery is right for you. Rest assured that our orthopedic surgeons not only have the expertise and exceptional skills needed to perform revision surgery, but they also have access to leading-edge surgical equipment, which helps to ensure the best outcomes possible.
If our surgeons believe that revision surgery, such as hip revision surgery, is the best option for you, they will educate you on the full process as well as the steps involved in your recovery. Our revision experts will also answer any questions you may have about artificial joints or your revision procedure.
