Joint Replacement & Revision

As the premier orthopedic and neurosurgical providers for Vancouver, Portland, Lake Oswego, and the surrounding areas for over 50 years, Rebound Orthopedics & Neurosurgery offers exceptional joint care from our fellowship-trained and board-certified joint replacement and revision doctors so you can rebound. 

The body's joints are constantly put under stress from different activities and the numerous actions performed each day. This stress causes the bones, cartilage, and tendons to wear down or deteriorate over time, resulting in severe pain. Patients who are experiencing joint pain should consult with an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in joint replacement as they have the knowledge and experience to provide an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. Depending on the particular patient, a joint replacement surgery may be recommended. A total joint replacement surgery involves the removal of a damaged or arthritic joint and replacing it with an artificial joint. In helping to relieve pain, this surgery also provides patients with increased mobility and an improved lifestyle. Some patients may undergo a joint revision surgery, which is when a joint surgeon replaces an older prosthesis with a new one due to malfunctioning or reaching the end of its lifespan.

When Is It Time to Consult a Joint Replacement or Revision Doctor?

Being able to communicate any of the symptoms you are experiencing will allow you to provide helpful information to your joint replacement and revision doctor. It can reveal to your doctor how severe your injury is or what condition you have. It is important to schedule an appointment with a joint replacement doctor near you if you have any of the following symptoms:

  • Aching pain or soreness that does not go away
  • Current artificial joint feels unstable or loose
  • Experiencing pain when resting
  • Having to limp due to pain
  • Inability to walk due to severe pain
  • Joint feels week or gives out when attempting to use it
  • Swelling around the joint
  • Throbbing pain that keeps you up at night

If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, it could mean that you have one of the following injuries or conditions, which can be treated by our joint replacement specialists:

  • Arthritis
  • Deterioration of the cartilage around the joint
  • Failure of current artificial joint
  • Fracture
  • Joint deformity
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Osteoporosis

Our specialists understand that joint pain can have an impact on your lifestyle and keep you from living the life you love. To discuss your options, schedule a consultation with one of our joint replacement doctors by calling 1-800-REBOUND or scheduling an appointment online. Our joint replacement and revision experts are available at our Vancouver, Rose Quarter, Salmon Creek, Camas, and Lake Oswego.

If surgery is recommended, our joint surgeons have vast experience in performing many surgical procedures, including total hip replacement, total hip resurfacing, knee replacement, MAKOplasty partial knee resurfacing, direct anterior approach to hip replacement, total shoulder replacement, and reverse shoulder replacement.

Our surgeons are dedicated to staying on the forefront of the latest surgical advancements and are continually learning new state-of-the-art techniques. We were the first orthopedic practice in the area to perform the MAKOplasty partial knee resurfacing, which is an alternative to a total joint replacement that utilizes robotic technology. Additionally, we have one of the most experienced total hip resurfacing surgeons in the country and are the only group in southwest Washington to offer the direct anterior approach to hip replacement. 

To help facilitate a full and rapid recovery, our joint replacement surgeons take a team approach when it comes to patient-centered care, and they work in conjunction with our physical therapists and athletic trainers, who offer comprehensive physical therapy services. Our ultimate goal is to provide an effective rehabilitation plan that is focused on your individual needs to help you resume a pain-free lifestyle. 

If you're ready to discuss your joint problem and the available treatment options with one of our specialty-trained joint replacement surgeons, visit us in Vancouver at our Vancouver, Salmon Creek, or Camas locations; in Portland at our Rose Quarter location; or at our Lake Oswego location.

Preparing for My Surgery

After you and your doctor decide that surgery is the best treatment for your condition or injury, you may have a multitude of questions and concerns. Surgery is a major commitment because it affects your lifestyle for several weeks and sometimes months after surgery.

Planning for surgery can be overwhelming, but you can make it easier on yourself and on your family by being prepared and knowing what to expect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Outpatient total hip and knee replacement refers to the surgical procedure where a damaged hip or knee joint is replaced with an artificial implant, and the patient is discharged on the same day of surgery.

Outpatient shoulder replacement surgery, also known as ambulatory or same-day shoulder replacement, is a procedure where a damaged shoulder joint is replaced with an artificial implant, and the patient is discharged on the same day of surgery.

Not everyone is a candidate for outpatient surgery. Your orthopedic surgeon will assess your overall health and the complexity of your case to determine if you're a suitable candidate for outpatient total joint replacement.

Benefits may include reduced risk of hospital-acquired infections, faster recovery due to early mobilization, and the comfort of recovering in your own home.

Direct anterior total hip replacement is a surgical technique where the hip joint is accessed from the front (anterior) of the hip, rather than through the side or back.

Advantages may include potentially faster recovery, reduced risk of hip dislocation, and preservation of muscles and tendons around the hip joint.

Direct posterior total hip replacement is a surgical technique where the hip joint is accessed from the back (posterior) of the hip.

Benefits may include good visibility of the hip joint for the surgeon, potentially lower risk of nerve injury, and improved long-term outcomes.

Total hip and knee replacement with Mako SmartRobotics involves the use of robotic technology to assist the surgeon in performing precise cuts and placements of implants during the surgery.

Advantages may include increased accuracy in implant positioning, potentially shorter hospital stays, and improved long-term outcomes.

Robotic surgery is considered safe, but like any surgical procedure, it carries certain risks. Your surgeon will discuss the potential risks and benefits with you before the procedure.

Preparing for robotic surgery typically involves following preoperative instructions provided by your surgeon, such as stopping certain medications or fasting before the procedure.

You'll be provided with specific instructions for postoperative care, including pain management, physical therapy exercises, and follow-up appointments. It's crucial to adhere to these instructions for optimal recovery.

Recovery times vary for each individual, but patients often experience quicker rehabilitation and return to normal activities with the minimally invasive techniques our surgeons use for outpatient total joint replacement procedures.
