Some issues Dr. Jonathan David Gillig, MD can help you with:

Hip Replacement

Hip replacement is a surgical procedure to replace parts of the hip joint that are damaged by disease or injury. It is most often done to treat arthritis, a common condition that causes stiffness and pain in the joints. Surgery is used only after other, less invasive treatments have failed to work.

The type of hip replacement patients receive is based on their age and the extent of damage to their hip. The hip joint has two parts: the femoral head, or hip ball, and the acetabulum, or hip socket. The hip ball is located on the upper end of the femur (thigh bone), and the hip socket is part of the pelvis. Depending on whether one or both parts require replacement, patients may need one of the following procedures:

Partial hip replacement, which is generally recommended in the case of hip fractures or other hip injuries. If a patient is having a partial hip replacement, only the hip ball will be replaced.
Total hip replacement, which is often used to treat the hip joint when it has become damaged due to arthritis. Both the hip socket and hip ball are replaced.
Hip resurfacing, which is usually performed for younger patients. A hip resurfacing procedure reshapes the hip ball and only replaces its surface. This preserves more bone and makes future surgeries easier. If a patient is having a partial hip resurfacing, only the hip ball is resurfaced and replaced. If a patient is having a total hip resurfacing, the hip socket will be replaced as well.

During hip replacement surgery, an incision is made along the side of the hip. The surgeon may access the joint directly through this incision, or by using small tools and a lighted tube called an arthroscope to see and treat the joint. The diseased tissue is removed, and the bones are smoothed out and fitted with metal ends. The metal pieces may be cemented in place, or they may have a porous structure that encourages bone to grow into them and hold them securely. A smooth plastic cushion is placed between the two bones to replace the cartilage and allow the joint to move freely.

Hip replacement surgery takes one to two hours, and afterwards patients may stay in the hospital for several days. When patients go home, they will have to use a cane, walker, or crutches at first. Patients will likely have physical therapy to improve their ability to move with their new hip. After the first few weeks, light exercise such as bike riding or swimming will help them heal, but certain actions, such as climbing stairs or bending over at the waist, may be difficult at first. It will take several weeks before they can drive or return to work. Full recovery may take six to 12 months.

Replacement Arthroplasty (Joint Replacement)

Joint replacement, sometimes also called arthroplasty, is an option when a joint becomes severely damaged by disease or injury. The damaged cartilage of the joint is surgically removed, the ends of the bones in the joint are resurfaced, and a prosthetic is installed. Most prosthetic joints are made of a metal piece that fits into a plastic sleeve so that they glide smoothly. A joint replacement increases stability in the damaged area and decreases pain. The hip and knee are the two joints most commonly replaced, but joint replacement can also be performed on the ankle, shoulder, elbow and even fingers.

Although joint replacement is one of the safest and most reliable medical procedures available, it is still a major surgical procedure. All surgical procedures carry risks, such as infection or blood clots. For this reason, doctors try to help their patients avoid surgery for as long as they can. Taking arthritis medications, losing weight, avoiding high impact sports such as running, taking supplements such as glucosamine or chondroitin, or having joint injections may allow a patient to enjoy life without the need for surgery.

After having joint replacement surgery, patients can expect some pain the first few days as they recover. Physical therapy is an important part of recovery, and it can decrease complications and increase future mobility. As soon as possible, returning to low impact sports such as swimming, walking or biking can stretch and heal the new joint. A prosthetic joint can last 15 - 20 years and cannot be further damaged by degenerative diseases such as arthritis, so once it is done patients should be pain-free for many years.

I had an exceptional experience with Dr. Gillig. After five years of hesitation due to concerns surrounding knee and hip replacement surgeries, I finally underwent the procedure, and the results have been truly transformative. Dr. Gillig's skill, professionalism, and genuine care were evident throughout the entire process. His commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for his patients is remarkable.

My recovery has been remarkably smooth, and I am now enjoying a significantly improved quality of life. It's important to emphasize that successful outcomes in these types of surgeries depend on a collaborative effort between the patient and the medical team. Following the Dr. Gillig’s post-operative instructions diligently, incorporating an anti-inflammatory diet, and maintaining a consistent level of physical activity are crucial factors in optimizing recovery. I also found regular massage therapy to be beneficial.

I highly recommend Dr. Gillig to anyone considering a knee or hip replacement. His expertise and compassionate approach make him an outstanding choice. Go ahead, stop procrastinating and contact his office to schedule a consultation. It’s 2025 and I am still pain and limp free. Oh, there’s one more thing…this isn’t AI. #RealPatientReview #BestOrthopaedicDru

Was taken back earlier than my 2:30 appointment, interviewed by nurse, then had hip x-rays done. Dr. Gillig saw me on time and took plenty of time to talk to me and understand my concerns. He was great! Only needed a corticosteroid injection for bursitis in my right hip.

Dr. Jonathan David Gillig is very professional and friendly. He diagnosed my condition clearly and acted very efficiently. After understanding my condition and details, he quickly allow me to do an MRI. This will allow me to have an earlier follow up visit for any action that is needed with MRI result, and I expect to have my normal life earlier after the necessary action is performed.
