What is Joint Replacement Surgery?
Joint Replacement Surgery is a surgical procedure in which a damaged or diseased joint is removed and replaced with an artificial implant (prosthesis). The surgery aims to restore joint function, relieve chronic pain, and improve mobility, allowing patients to return to their daily activities without discomfort. The most common joints replaced are the hip, knee, and shoulder, but it can also be performed on other joints such as the ankle, elbow, and wrist. Joint replacement is often recommended for patients suffering from severe arthritis, joint injuries, or degenerative joint diseases that have not responded to conservative treatments.
Our Joint Replacement Surgery Services Include:
- Total Knee Replacement – Replacement of the entire knee joint with an artificial implant to relieve pain and improve mobility.
- Total Hip Replacement – Replacement of the hip joint with a prosthetic implant, ideal for patients with severe hip arthritis or injuries.
- Shoulder Replacement Surgery – Replacement of the shoulder joint, often recommended for patients with rotator cuff injuries or shoulder arthritis.
- Partial Joint Replacement – For cases where only a part of the joint is damaged, such as unicompartmental knee replacement or partial hip replacement.
- Revision Joint Replacement – A procedure to replace or repair a failed joint implant from a previous joint replacement surgery.
Benefits of Joint Replacement Surgery:
- Pain Relief – Joint replacement surgery effectively eliminates chronic joint pain, providing long-term relief for patients.
- Improved Mobility – The procedure restores natural joint movement, allowing patients to perform daily activities with ease.
- Enhanced Quality of Life – Patients experience a significant improvement in their quality of life, with better independence and physical activity.
- Faster Recovery with Minimally Invasive Techniques – With advancements in minimally invasive surgery, patients can expect shorter hospital stays and faster recovery times.
Conditions We Treat with Joint Replacement Surgery:
- Osteoarthritis – The most common condition leading to joint replacement, causing severe joint pain, stiffness, and loss of mobility.
- SRheumatoid Arthritis – A chronic inflammatory condition that causes joint damage and deformity, requiring joint replacement to restore function.
- Avascular Necrosis – A condition where bone tissue dies due to lack of blood supply, leading to joint collapse.
- Hip Dysplasia – A congenital condition affecting the hip joint, which may require total hip replacement to improve mobility and reduce pain.
