Pain in your knee from injury or arthritis can make everyday activities
difficult and can even keep you up at night. When your quality of life
is impacted and conservative treatments no longer relieve your pain, it
may be time to consider knee replacement surgery.
Sauk Prairie Healthcare’s Joint Health Center offers both total knee replacement and partial knee replacement surgery.
Your surgeon will perform a complete evaluation and discuss your knee
replacement options with you.
Hip replacement surgery is a long-term solution for joint pain caused by
end-stage hip arthritis. When non-operative treatments no longer relieve
your hip pain and it keeps you from doing things you enjoy, it may be
time to consider hip replacement surgery. Orthopedic surgeons at Sauk
Prairie Healthcare offer both the traditional posterior approach as well
as the anterior approach to total hip replacement.
Your doctor may recommend shoulder replacement surgery when nonsurgical
treatments are not easing your severe shoulder arthritis pain, interfering
with everyday activities, and keeping you up at night. In shoulder replacement
surgery, your orthopedic surgeon will remove the damaged or worn out parts
of the shoulder and replace them with a new shoulder replacement prosthesis.
Orthopedic Surgeons at Sauk Prairie Healthcare offer both total shoulder
replacement surgery and reverse shoulder replacement surgery.
When movement in the ankle becomes a source of chronic pain due to late-stage
arthritis, a long-term solution is total ankle replacement surgery. Dr.
Andrew Ertl is Sauk Prairie Healthcare’s Orthopedic surgeon with
special training in foot and ankle surgery. He is one of the few specialists
in the region offering total ankle replacement surgery. If you have persistent
ankle pain and loss of function after exhausting conservative treatment
options, total ankle replacement may provide a solution for long-term
relief and get you back to an active lifestyle.
