Types of joint replacement surgeries
Any joints in the body may be replaced but most commonly are the hip and knee. Joint replacement is a surgery that involves resurfacing or smoothing of the joints and cutting away of cartilage so that a prosthetic joint made of plastic, metal or a combination of both can be implanted and rejoined to existing bone and cartilage. As the area heals, new bone, cartilage and blood vessels form to increase blood flow to the area, relieve pain and enhance mobility.
Most joint replacements last 10 to 15 years depending on the type of material used and the activity level and individual needs of the patient.
When you need knee surgery or hip surgery
If surgery is right for you, you'll be in good hands. The multidisciplinary team at Main Line Health, including Main Line Health doctors and independent providers, is made up of some of the best hip replacement doctors and knee replacement surgeons in the Philadelphia region. Working closely with orthopaedic experts, your hip and knee navigator will guide you through every step of the hip and knee replacement process — from educational classes before surgery to on-site physical therapy while you 're in the hospital to recovering soundly at home or in a rehabilitation hospital.
The joint replacement program is offered at our four hospital locations: Lankenau Medical Center (Wynnewood), Bryn Mawr Hospital, Paoli Hospital, and Riddle Hospital (Media).
Preparing for joint replacement surgery
We understand you may have a lot of questions about hip or knee pain. You may be wondering if hip surgery or knee surgery (or both) is necessary, or if there are other options available to you. That's why we recommend you start by attending one of our free hip and knee pain seminars, conveniently held at Main Line Health hospitals and health centers.
Led by hip and knee navigators, these one-hour seminars offer a fantastic learning experience around the causes of joint pain and ways to prevent injury. The seminars also include discussion of a variety of nonsurgical treatments available as well as the latest innovations in hip replacement surgery and knee replacement procedures performed by hip replacement experts and knee surgery specialists at Main Line Health.

We want you to have everything you need to be as comfortable as possible on your day of surgery. It's also important to plan and prepare in the days leading up to surgery and to know what to expect when you get home. These resources will help you mentally and physically prepare for surgery, know what to expect at the hospital and during your stay, plan for at-home assistance and rehabilitation and more.
