JOINT REPLACEMENTS

Joint Replacement

Joint replacements are surgical procedures aimed at replacing damaged or diseased joint surfaces with artificial implants, known as prostheses. These procedures are commonly performed to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve the function of joints affected by conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or injury.

The most common joint replacements include knee and hip replacements, although replacements for other joints such as the shoulder, elbow, and ankle are also performed when necessary. During the procedure, the damaged joint surfaces are removed, and the prosthetic components are securely placed to mimic the natural function of the joint.

Advances in medical technology and surgical techniques have led to the development of more durable and lifelike joint implants, resulting in improved outcomes and longevity for patients undergoing joint replacement surgery. These advancements have also allowed for minimally invasive approaches, which often result in less postoperative pain, faster recovery times, and reduced hospital stays.

Candidates for joint replacement surgery typically experience severe joint pain, stiffness, and limited mobility that cannot be adequately managed with conservative treatments such as medication, physical therapy, or lifestyle modifications. The decision to undergo joint replacement surgery is made collaboratively between the patient, their orthopedic surgeon, and other healthcare providers, taking into account the patient’s overall health, lifestyle, and treatment goals.
