When the Pain Stops Being Something You Can Push Through
Most people who call us have already tried everything else. Physical therapy. Cortisone shots. Anti-inflammatories. Bracing. Sleeping in positions that don’t quite work. They’ve been managing, until managing stopped being enough.
That’s not failure. That’s information. It means conservative treatment has done what it can, and your joint damage may have progressed to the point where replacement is the most effective path back to your life.
The surgeons at Orthopaedic Institute of Dayton have one consistent message for patients who reach this point: you deserve a straight answer, not another round of “let’s wait and see.”
One Practice. Every Step.
Most patients don’t realize how fragmented joint replacement care can be until they’re in the middle of it: pre-surgical clearance at one facility, imaging somewhere else, surgery at a hospital they’ve never been to, post-op follow-up back at the surgeon’s office.
OID is the only orthopedic practice in Dayton that handles all surgery center authorizations at a single site.
Every pre-surgical test. Every screening. Your procedure. Your follow-up. All coordinated within one practice, one team, one location. No bouncing between providers. No gaps in your chart. No starting over with someone who doesn’t know your case.
That’s not a small thing. For a procedure this significant, continuity of care is clinical advantage.
You Might Be a Candidate If:
-
Your joint pain stems from osteoarthritis or significant joint damage
-
Conservative treatments (oral medications, injections, physical therapy) have stopped providing meaningful relief
-
Pain is affecting your sleep, mobility, or ability to do the things that matter to you
We also ask about your home support system before any surgical decision. Recovery requires help in those first days. If that’s a concern, tell us. We’d rather plan around it than discover it post-operatively.

Same-Day Joint Replacement
For patients who qualify, OID performs outpatient joint replacement — meaning you have your procedure and go home the same day. No hospital admission. No overnight stay.
This isn’t available for every patient, but it’s worth asking about at your consultation if avoiding a hospital stay matters to you.
Our Total Joint Replacement Specialists
Every surgical consultation at OID is with a physician — not routed to a physician assistant as your primary point of contact. You’ll have time to ask questions, and you’ll get direct answers.

Pain Management
At OID we believe effective post-operative pain control doesn’t require heavy reliance on opioids.
We use a multimodal pain management approach: targeted nerve blocks, anti-inflammatory medications, and non-opioid analgesics working together to control pain through multiple pathways simultaneously. The result is effective pain control with meaningfully reduced opioid use — which matters for your recovery timeline, your cognition, and your risk profile.
You leave surgery with a clear pain management plan. Not a prescription and a pamphlet.
