Joint Replacement Surgery at OrthoArkansas

Specialized care for shoulders, hips, and knees begins with a thorough evaluation and non-surgical therapies—from physical therapy to targeted injections. When those conservative treatments no longer bring relief, joint replacement surgery becomes the next step.

Connected Joint Replacement & Recovery

At OrthoArkansas, joint replacement & recovery go hand-in-hand. We partner with patients, families, and caregivers to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Advanced treatment options include:

  • Joint reconstruction & knee joint reconstruction

  • Revision joint surgery for failed implants

  • Minimally invasive arthroscopy and surgical repair of a joint

  • Partial joint replacement and total joint replacement

  • Complex hip reconstruction surgery for trauma or arthritis


When conservative Treatments no longer help, our team guides you toward confident, informed decisions.

OrthoArkansas Joint Consultations

Our consultations go beyond the surgery itself. We help patients fully understand their condition, treatment options, and recovery expectations. Consultations may include:

  1. Pre-operative planning with care navigators
  2. Coordination between therapists, providers, and caregivers
  3. Clear communication on recovery timelines and follow-up care

Dedicated Support Throughout Your Surgical Journey
Each patient is assigned a care navigator who remains involved from pre-op to post-op. This ensures all concerns are addressed quickly, resources are accessible, and families feel supported throughout the healing process.

Many of our procedures are performed as outpatient orthopedic surgeries, allowing patients to return home the same day. Learn more about our outpatient surgical process.
