What to Expect After Joint Reconstruction

Frequently Asked Questions: Joint Replacement Surgery Near Lindenhurst
Am I a candidate for joint replacement?
You may be a candidate if you are experiencing chronic joint pain that has not responded to conservative treatments such as physical therapy or injections, and imaging confirms structural damage to the joint. Dr. Cappellino performs a thorough evaluation — including X-ray and MRI — to determine the most appropriate treatment for your specific condition.
What is the difference between joint reconstruction and joint replacement?
Joint reconstruction typically refers to procedures that repair or rebuild damaged joint structures — such as ACL reconstruction, labral repair, or cartilage restoration — while preserving as much of the natural joint as possible. Joint replacement involves removing and replacing the damaged joint surface with an artificial implant. Dr. Cappellino specializes in both and will recommend the right approach based on your diagnosis.
How long does recovery from joint reconstruction take?
Recovery varies depending on the procedure. Minimally invasive arthroscopic reconstruction procedures typically allow patients to return to light activity within a few weeks, with full recovery ranging from 3 to 6 months depending on the joint treated and the extent of the repair. Dr. Cappellino provides a personalized recovery plan at the time of your consultation.
