Understand the cause of your joint pain
Know what’s behind your pain before deciding what comes next.
Joint pain can affect how you move, stay active, and take part in daily life. Whether your symptoms have developed gradually or followed an injury or previous joint replacement, the first step is understanding what is causing them.
Southern Oregon Orthopedics provides joint replacement and revision care for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, deformities, severe fractures, chronic hip or knee pain, and complications from a previous joint replacement. Our team helps patients find the right next step, whether that means imaging, nonsurgical care, therapy, injections, joint replacement, or revision surgery when appropriate.
When to see a joint replacement specialist
You may benefit from an evaluation if you have:
- Ongoing hip or knee pain
- Pain and inflammation that affect movement or daily activity
- Stiffness or loss of range of motion
- A joint deformity that affects how you move
- A severe fracture that has damaged a joint
- Symptoms that have not improved with nonsurgical treatment
- Pain, swelling, or other problems after a previous joint replacement
If you are unsure where to start, our team can help you understand whether an appointment, imaging, therapy, or another next step may be appropriate.

Diagnosis and treatment
How we diagnose joint conditions
A clear diagnosis helps your specialist recommend the right treatment
Joint pain, stiffness, inflammation, and limited mobility can result from arthritis, deformity, fracture damage, or complications from a previous joint replacement. Your evaluation may include a review of your medical history, a physical exam, and diagnostic testing when needed.
Diagnostic testing may include digital X-rays, MRI scans, or CT scans.
Joint replacement and revision surgery
When joint pain limits daily life
Joint replacement surgery removes damaged portions of a joint and replaces them with prosthetic components designed to restore smoother movement and reduce pain. Hip and knee replacements are most common, but replacement may also be performed on the shoulder, elbow, wrist, or ankle.
For certain hip and knee replacement procedures, Mako SmartRobotics™ may be used to help the surgeon plan and perform the procedure with greater precision. Revision surgery may be needed to repair or replace components from an earlier joint replacement when they become worn, damaged, loose, or otherwise cause problems.
After surgery, rehabilitation helps patients restore movement, rebuild strength, and return to daily activities.
