Joint Replacement Surgery

Joint replacement surgery is a highly effective procedure to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve the quality of life for patients suffering from severe joint damage. It is commonly performed on the knee, hip, and shoulder joints affected by arthritis, injury, or degenerative conditions.

When is Joint Replacement Needed?

Severe joint pain and stiffness that limit daily activities
Advanced arthritis (Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis)
Joint deformities or structural damage
Failure of non-surgical treatments such as medications and physical therapy

Types of Joint Replacement Surgeries:

Knee Replacement: Partial or total replacement of the knee joint with an artificial implant.
Hip Replacement: Replacing damaged hip joint components with prosthetic parts to restore function.
Shoulder Replacement: Used for severe arthritis or rotator cuff injuries, replacing damaged joint surfaces.
Other Joint Replacements: Elbow, wrist, and ankle replacements for severe joint dysfunction.

Procedure & Recovery:

Pre-Surgery Assessment: Medical evaluation, imaging tests, and planning for surgery.
Surgical Procedure: The damaged joint is replaced with biocompatible implants under anesthesia.
Rehabilitation & Physiotherapy: Post-surgery physical therapy helps regain strength, flexibility, and mobility.
Recovery Timeline: Most patients resume normal activities within weeks to months, depending on the joint replaced and overall health.
