Joint Reconstruction & Replacement Surgery Louisville KY

Living with chronic joint pain can limit your independence, mobility, and overall quality of life. At Ellis & Badenhausen Orthopaedics, we provide comprehensive joint care for patients throughout Louisville, KY and Southern Indiana. Our team combines fellowship-trained expertise, high-volume surgical experience, and innovative techniques recognized nationally for their outcomes to achieve our simple goal: relieve pain, restore movement, and help you return to the life you enjoy.

We begin with conservative treatment whenever possible, including physical therapy, injections, bracing, or activity modification. When non-surgical options no longer provide relief, our fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeons offer advanced joint replacement procedures using modern techniques and proven implant technology designed to restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve long-term function.

Comprehensive Joint Care

Joint pain can affect every part of your daily routine — walking, sleeping, working, and even simple movements. We treat:

Osteoarthritis and inflammatory arthritis
Degenerative joint disease
Cartilage damage
Joint instability
Chronic joint pain
Acute joint injuries

Whenever appropriate, we prioritize non-surgical and joint preservation treatments such as physical therapy, injections, orthobiologic treatments, bracing, and activity modification to help you avoid or delay surgery.

Joint Replacement Surgery

When conservative treatments are no longer effective, joint replacement surgery may be the most reliable way to eliminate pain and restore mobility. Joint replacement removes damaged joint surfaces and replaces them with precision-engineered implants that replicate natural movement. Our surgeons apply evidence-based practices and advanced surgical techniques with a focus on precision, durability, and faster recovery.

We perform Hip Replacement, Total Knee Replacement, Partial Knee Replacement, and Shoulder Replacement, as well as revision hip and knee replacement surgeries.

What to Expect

Every joint replacement begins with a detailed evaluation, advanced imaging, and careful surgical planning. During surgery, damaged cartilage and bone are replaced with metal, plastic, or ceramic components designed for stability and natural motion.

Postoperative rehabilitation is essential, with structured physical therapy programs that restore strength, flexibility, and confidence in daily activities. Modern implants and surgical techniques often result in 15–20+ years of reliable function.

Are You a Candidate?

A recommendation for joint replacement surgery is highly individualized, but may be appropriate if you experience:

Persistent pain despite medication, injections, or physical therapy
Limited mobility or joint stiffness
Difficulty performing daily activities
Symptoms that interfere with sleep or independence

Our team uses advanced diagnostic methods and thorough evaluations to determine the best solution for your unique condition.
