During hip or knee replacement surgery, the surgeon removes the painful joint and replaces it with an artificial joint made from plastic, ceramic and/or metal. 

Treatment for shoulder arthritis may include non-surgical approaches such as pain management, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications. In more severe cases, surgery, such as joint replacement or joint fusion, may be considered to alleviate pain and improve shoulder function. It's important for individuals with shoulder arthritis to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.

    Dr Richie did my surgery October 1st it only took me 6 months to get in for total knee replacement. Any other surgeon I went to the wait was 1 and a half years up to 2 years . If I had of waited that long for surgery I would of been in a wheel chair. Dr Richie did a great surgery I spent 2 1/2 days in the hospital. Today I had my staples out . Next week I will be doing much more physo .Dr Richie might be older but he,s still a great surgeon. He's a veteran in his field but I'm no spring chicken either. Thanks Dr Richie I>m starting to feel much better so now its up to me to get feeling better and get my knee back in shape
