Our goal is to provide patients with effective treatment plans, ranging from conservative options to surgical intervention to relieve pain and regain normal functionality. The Indiana Hand Center performs hundreds of joint replacement surgeries each year. Our team of orthopedic surgeons, certified therapists and nursing staff has the expertise needed to provide our patients with the latest technology and care required for successful outcomes. Joint replacement surgery (known as arthroplasty) involves removing a damaged joint and replacing it with a new artificial joint called a prosthesis. Joint replacement in the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand is often performed to treat severe arthritis because it relieves pain and increases range-of-motion and function. It can also be utilized for joints destroyed by trauma or injury, severe fractures and for torn/deteriorated tendons and cartilage.
