Joint replacement can be a good option for people with chronic pain and stiffness that leads to poor quality of life, such as people with advanced arthritis or lingering soreness. During a joint replacement, we’ll remove all or part of your joint and replace it with an artificial implant.

Today’s joint replacement procedures are much less invasive than in the past. This helps you recover quicker and get moving sooner. The most common joint replacement procedures include:

• Ankle replacement surgery
• Hip replacement surgery
• Knee replacement surgery
• Shoulder replacement surgery

At Lakeview Hospital, we’re proud of our reputation as a leader in orthopedic surgery. We were the first hospital in Minnesota to perform a minimally invasive hip replacement, and we’re also pioneers in minimally invasive knee replacements.

We perform 68% more total joint replacement procedures than the average Minnesota hospital. We’ll apply this industry-leading expertise to help give you the best joint replacement experience.

Sometimes, after exploring other treatment options, we may recommend spine surgery as part of your treatment plan to help reduce your pain and increase your mobility.

If we think spine surgery can improve your condition, there’s no need to worry – we’ll take the time to answer all your questions and make sure you’re fully prepared. Afterward, we’ll connect you with professional therapy and rehabilitation, if needed, so you can get back to what you enjoy sooner.
